Letter from David Crook, in typescript, in response to a query on the twelve pennyweight ounce that IS had sent to Nicholas Barratt, who was no longer working at the PRO. IS was evidently following up a reference by Blunt, but DC was unable to locate "in a fairly rapid perusal" any reference to a pennyweight ounce in the document in question (E 101/293/2), which he described as "a bundle of accounts by keepers of the Tower mint from 1399 to 1404". He further stated that he lacked the expertise to recognise the relevant reference and invited IS to come in and examine the material himself.
