Note 32 — THE ROYAL MINT. (continued 2)
Reading edition
Besides many verbal congratulations, the Master wrote me the following letter:—
Registered No. 3026, 1860.
Royal Mint, 20th October, 1860.
Dear Sir,
Your success in obviating the difficulty of coining gold containing a minute portion of antimony or arsenic is a benefit to this department, which calls for my most grateful thanks. In recognition of your services I have the pleasure, with the approbation of the Lords Commissioners of Her Majesty’s Treasury, to present to you the sum of one hundred pounds, for which cheque is enclosed.
I have the honour to be, Dear Sir, Most faithfully yours, Tho. Graham
.
George F. Ansell, Esq.
