[Letter] 70 [i.e. 1870] April　20, Parsonage Road, Withington, [to] Hendricks

My dear Sir,
As you decline 
to reprint your evidence
on your own account
I have witten to Mr.
J. B. Smith suggesting
that he might get it
printed through Mr. Lowe.
He is I think just the 
one to do it but how 
he will take my suggestion 
I cannot of course tell.
   I hear from America 
that the Coinage Com
mittee of Congress are 
going to report in 
favour of assimilating 
their 5 dollar piece to 
the 25 pence price. This 
seems evidently the 
natural step for them 
to take and if it proves 
true it must decide the 
question as to the future 
Unit of International 
Currency. I regard this 
reduction of the sovereign 
as quite inevitable but 
as you say patience is 
necessary. 
   The Bank have also 
printed a brief ac-
count of their mode 
of carrying on the 
bullion business with 
interesting tables of the
Annual transactions.
I think the Bank could
not spend a little money
better than in making 
known a few things 
that have been buried 
in obscurity.
       Yours faithfully
        W. Stanley Jevons.
Fed Hendricks Esqe.
