Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'Utinam in regionibus agerem, unde aliquid quotidie etiam effoderetur, quod ad tuum gustum esset! Qua cura conarer implere ac satiare desideria tua! Nunc inter paludes positus ea mitto, quae potui stylo qualicunque effodere, forsan graviora alias missurus.' (BL, Add MS 4277, f.80; Burnett 2020b, p. 732 n. 245)

['Would that something would be dug up where I live which would be to your taste. What efforts I have made to fulfil and satisfy your desires! Situated amongst the marshes I send you the things I have been able to dig out with any old stick; perhaps on another occasion I will send more weighty things.' (translation from Burnett 2020b, p. 732)]
