[Letter] 70 [i.e. 1870] April 17, Parsonage Road, Withington, Manchester [to] Hendricks

          Parsonage Road
            Wittington
            17 April 70.
My dear Sir,
      I have recieved 
the proofs of your 
evidence before the 
Council Superiors do, &
return you my best thanks 
for it. I have read most 
of it with the geratest 
pleasure and feel sure 
that you have done the 
greatest possible 
service to the cause of
international money. 
In fact your exposition 
of the whole subject 
seems to me admirable.
   It is impossible to see 
now when we shall 
suceed in carrying the 
scheme and I see great 
difficulties in the way, 
but it is possible that 
some intermediate 
plan might be found out 
that all could accept 
more readily that the 
1 pc mint change.
   I find that Dr. Fair
has been down here put
ting out a scheme for 
a 25 shilling piece which 
has some relation to 
Chevalier's absurd scheme
of the gramme coinage
as however it is totally 
impracticable there is 
no need to say anything 
more about it.
   The Bank seem to be 
quite aroused to a new 
life & have been sending 
me publication after pub-
lication. I presume that 
they think by reprinting 
this 'Coinage Controversy' 
they have extinguished 
Lowe & you & me and 
every one else concerned 
in the matter.
    Yours faithfully
      W. Stanley Jevons
P. S. Could you not reprint 
or in other way make your
evidence known in England 
I have hardly time to do much.
