Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'I have lately bought a very curious edition of Wheelere’s Travels, which seems to corroborate your account of Lord Winchelsea purchasing Lord Arundel’s medals. On the margins are neatly drawn and described by Lord Winchilsea’s own hand many coins exemplifying Wheeler: but who Mr. Hall was or into what possession the collection passed, it is difficult at a distance to discover. Probably into the Earl of Pembroke’s.'

(Lewis 1952, vol. 16, p. 158; Burnett 2020b, p. 1469)
