May it Please your honours.
This House haveing taken in Consideracon the loss on the Sale
of Bills of Exchange in the Country that arrise on the Severall
impositions for defraying the Publick Charge think it more advan-
tageous that the Treasurers remitt the Bills to some responsible
Merchant in London to be negotiated for the Countrys use by
which we expect to save at least two and an half p Cent. Where-
fore we have Resolved the Bills shall be remitted accordingly and
have agreed upon Mr William Hunt to be the Merchant to Nego-
tiate them wherewith we Desire your Concurrence.
