Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'… I hope you have had y^r Coins home, & shall rejoyce if I can help you finish so good a Beginning. I gave this day a Guinea for a Portculis Crown of Queen Elizabeth. Persons are Idly Extravagant & there is no coming at particular peices but on such Terms. I was last night with a Clubb of Antiquaries, but I said nothing a^bt Mr Welham’s collection, & am exceedingly enjoyed they are got into y^r good hands, & I pray you to secure \all the rest of/ the Gold. I can in May 20^th get half a crown for every thing before James the Firsts Time.'
