From dealer's description: ""d.s. “Ro: White”, manuscript on vellum, red wax seal with the Portcullis of Westminster, cracked and with small loss, folds, yellowed, 320 x 214mm., 21st August 1675:" -- auction catalog. "This actual MS is referred to in Mackenzie E. C. Walcott, History of the parish church of St Margaret (1847), p. 14, where he explains that normally the standard weights were entrusted to the local MP, but as Westminster had no MP at this time, it was up to the local citizens, who placed them in the vestry of St Margaret's, their parish church." -- buyer's agent. Ordered from Forum Auction no. 33 (12 July 2018), D 9221, 06-22-2018.
