Can anyone translate this shorthand note? 0

[RWB]

This brief shorthand note is part of a letter from Franklin Peale to mint director Patterson. Can anyone out there translate the text?

Thanks!

It says "I'm going to sabotage the master dies for Longacre's new twenty."

Ah, most prescient that Franklin Peale! He wrote the letter is July 1848.

 

Other translations?

(Note: Archives contain many examples of shorthand taken during dictation. Some are accompanied by manuscript letters.)

There is a shorthand forum you could try posting it to. http://greggshorthand.proboards.com/

The forum does appear to be relatively active.

Thanks for the tip. I've asked the question on the forum suggested by kbbpll.
