Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'In that letter I told you I would send you some originall letters if you would please to take copies of them and send back the originalls, and that I would send you my thoughts of the inscription of your Runic coin. Ever since I came from Oxford till within these 3 or 4 dayes, I have been so ill that I could not mind my studies, even writeing of letters was irksome to me. But now, I thank God, I am well again, and intend to give you my conjectures upon your coin, which I will send you as soon as I know your pleasure about the above-mentioned letters.' (Thoresby 1912, pp. 105-6; Burnett 2020b, p. 870 n. 166)
