               9 May 68
My dear Sir
      I was sorry to 
find you engaged 
when I called on you 
in the City the afer
noon previous to my 
being examined before 
the Int. Coinage Comer 
I had only an hour to
spare in the whole 
afternoon so I could 
not call again.
   I am now preparing 
a short paper on the 
subject of International 
Coinage in order to lay 
this question before our 
Statistical Society next 
Wednesday. I mentioned 
the support you give to 
the news of the Convention 
& the Secretary said they
would send you an invitaion. 
If you could spare time 
to come down it would 
be a great favour to our 
Society which as you 
perhaps know is the 
parent society of the
London Stat. Soc.
   I should hope also 
that you would favor 
me by staying here 
if you can find time
fora visit; a bed will 
be ready for you.
   If you could exhibit 
to the members the 
proposed international 
Com which you showed 
me, it might give them
a better notion of what 
was proposed.
   Our meetings are usally 
reported pretty fully 
by the three Manr news 
paper which circulate 
over the Middle & North 
of England.
       Yours faithfully
           W. S. Jevons
