ANNALS OF THE NOVA SCOTIAN CURRENCY. 47 



In presenting your petition, interest should be made for permission to employ any person you like to execute 

 the tokens, for if it be transferred to the Mint the extra expense will be enormous. 



We are very respectfully, dear sir, 



Your most obedient servants, 

 Halifax, N.S. Smith, Forsyth dj Co. 



We shall assist your petition by requesting our member, Mr. Huskisson, to support it.

LivBKPooL, Slat March, 1824. 

 The Honourable Michael Wallace, 

 Dear Sir, 



The manufacturer of the tokens has disappointed us sadly for he has sent forward only five casks 

 (containing little more than one ton) in time for this conveyance, for which we enclose his bill of parcels together 

 Willi bill of lading and our invoice which amounts to £170 9s. We hope you will receive them soon and in good 

 order. We shall be glad to hear that they are approved of, the cost is considerably less than the former 

 parcel. We are promised the remainder in the course of 8 or 10 days when they shall be immediately forwarded. 

 You have in a former letter been informed that we could not execute your order for silver tokens as a copy of said 

 letter is enclosed we refer you to it. The manufacturers do not know or they do not chuse that we should know 

 what would be the expense of coining the silver tokens for they have declined answering our queries on that point. 

 We have now to acknowledge the receipt of your favor of the 20th February, enclosing a bill of exchange on 

 Messrs. Morlands & Co. for £195, which has been duly honored and the amount passed to your credit. 



We are very sorry to observe that there were some inaccuracies in the contents of the casks of tokens sent 

 by the Lord Exmouth, we wish you had weighed each of them, as by that you pay and not by the number of 

 tokens, we should suggest the propriety of doing so with those now sent whenever you can unpack them. 



We remain very respectfully, dear sir, 



Your most obedient servants, 

 Halifax, N.S. Smith, Foksyth & Co.

Halifax, Nova Scotia, 2nd April 1824. 

 Messrs. Smith, Foesyth & Co., 



Gentlemen, 



I have been duly favored with yours of the 5th, 7th and 16th February, and I am well pleased to find 



you suspended negotiating my order for silver tokens which, from the difficulties you state, I shall entirely 



abandon. 



I hope soon to have the pleasure to hear from you again with the copper coinage and it is very fortunate that 



the prices has fallen. 



I find that doubloons make a bad remittance from hence, however, the insurance was saved upon those I sent 



by Mr. Fraser. 



I remain with esteem, 



Your obedient servant, 



Michael Wallace.
