May it Please your Honours.
By M^r Cookes Gen^ll Computation the ffinishing the Maga-
zine as it Ought to be Workmanlike would amount To Two
Hundred pounds Currency more than he was to have by the
first Bargain, we therefore considering the Bargain was
somewhat hard on his Side and Desired his Excy and Your
Honours Concurrence in Allowing him One hundred pounds
Sterl. more to make him a recompence. M^r Cook has not
made any Perticular Propositions to us of what work re-
mains to be finished. Therefore we wholly referr that to his
Excy to Determine And to Order the payment of the mony on
the finishing the Work.
