I was engaged in punches from matrices: And the multiplying of dies from punches, as well as the repairing of the punches, and the hardening and tempering of the dies. For the manner in which I fulfilled these duties I refer You to Messrs Watt & Co's testimonial.

I would undertake the Engraving of new matrices: from which to obtain punches for other size coins, making the head of "Her Majesty" proportionate to the size of the surface of the Coin. I will engage to fulfil the above, for the sum of £30 per Calendar month, (subject to finding articles of agreement acceptable); it will be my constant Endeavor to fulfil the appointment to your Entire satisfaction.

I remain, Yours obediently,
