P.S.  I was much surprised to find that you only allowed 5/6 p Oz for the Piece of Siver sent you the 3rd Sept. last when at the same time some Gentn. of this Country got 5s/6½d p Oz for the Silver they sent to London & I could have had that Price of Messrs. Langlands & Robertson of this Place.  I hope that you will allow the best Price for this Piece wch. may induce me to send you more.
