Abstract from EMLO: Lhwyd writes in reply to a letter of 3 November 1704. He sends an enclosure to Mr Elstob. Would like a transcript of Leibnitz's letters relating to the British or Irish. Regarding the draft of a silver shield, it is certainly not Irish, but without a doubt Teutonic. (Bodleian Library, MS Ashmole 1816, f.71; Gunther 1945, p 502, no. 260; Burnett 2020b, p. 1607)
