to Waggons, &c. Maryland Money and 28 Pistoles £196 0 6
720 Ounces Silver

On Counting the Money at Lancaster I find the 47 Ounces

And a Joannes 5 15 0
And that the 720 Ounces of Silver

312 15 0
£609 8 6
Which with the Maryland Paper and 28 Pistoles
making 196 0 6
Makes in all £805 9 0
But if the Silver were valu'd by the Ounce
720 Ounces at 8s. 6d. would be but as £306 0 0
