Sir G. Downing to the Treasurer of the Household. I did yesterday inform you that Alderman Bucknall had promised to send
in the 5,000l. for mourning. But I received last night a letter
from the Farmers of the Customs signed by Sir John Shaw, Sir
Robert Viner and Sir Edmond Turner in answer to the letter I
sent them, wherein they write that they will lend the money and
send it into the Exchequer: which is better for that the money
comes to the King at 6 per cent., and for that Alderman Backwell
may now so much the better provide the 5,000l. for the Navy
yet wanting on the loans on the [Crown] land revenue. about
which you said you would speak with him. |
