Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".
'I have these severall years bygone been at great pains in purchasing Ancient Coyns of all the three Mettalls, Gold, Silver, and Brasse or Copper, and have got a considerable Collection of Roman saxon and English ones, and all the Scotch that ever I have seen in any Mettall. I use to buy up all the Doubles that come in my way and shall be always ready to exchange them for others with any person thats curious. Pray let me know if ye, or any of your neighbour gentlemen take pleasure in such things. I hear Mr Ralph Thoresby hes a vast treasure of them, and I would account my great honour and advantage to get a Correspondence with him on this account. If the Gentleman be of your acquaintance I’me very derireous to give him my most humble service. If he wants anything I can add to his collection it shall be duely sent.'
