will appoint some other. As to your complaint
that the [Exchequer] officers have demanded 6s. 8d.
for every sum [tally] of money which you have
paid into the Exchequer upon account of the present
Aid, I am to tell you that the Exchequer fees are
but 3s. for every tally. If you have paid more
my Lords will see right done you. My Lords
would not have you depend on me to draw bills
on you for the money in your hands, but desire you
to take care to return it into the Exchequer with
