Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".
'I am much obliged to Lady P[omfret] for the honour she does me in thinking of medals; when I return to Florence, if I have not bought them here, I will take those. I beg you will tell my Lady that I have been looking out for Pope's testoons (or testicles as Lord Mansel calls them) for her, but silver is so extremely scarce here, that I have not yet met with one with the head on it; but possibly before I leave Rome, I may have better luck.' (Lewis 1952, vol. 17, pp. 2-5; Burnett 2020b, p. 1055 n. 419)
