Summary: This page contains three documents: the first discusses differences in forged bank notes, concerns about new forgery techniques, and a proposed security improvement; the second is a letter to Charles Tottie, Consul General of Norway & Sweden, about the progress of engraving approved drawings and the inability to provide duplicates due to time constraints; the third begins a calculation for supplying bank note paper. The main correspondents are P B & P and Smith Elder & Co, with references to Norway, Sweden, and Hoby Fleet Street.
