'Yours [Courten’s letter] of y^e 12^th I wellcome as my Valentine to day, for I must owne Medalls are now become my Mistress, and afford me the best of pleasure. ... I am not yett fit for the foreigne plantations or the Greek colonys, having been so well intertained by you on the Latine shore amongst Emperors and Consulls. [Discusses late Roman inc. Julian with Bull, ref to Occo.] I desire to outlive Lady Day before I see the list of yo^r Gold Medalls for I shall nott (I think) bee able to forgoe your offer.’' (BL, Sloane MS 3962, f.258; Burnett 2020b, pp. 370-1)
