Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".
Lettre du 28 août 1701 (d’Edingburgh): 'I am now and then getting some old Scotch Coyns both Gold and Silver which I delay sending you till I find a Bearer I may trust. Any fossils ye please to bestow, with what Medals ye can procure will be very acceptable.'. (Oxford, Bodleian Library, MS Radcliffe Trust c. 1, f° 60; Burnett 2020b, p. 1545).
Abstract from EMLO: Details a list of 20 plants (Latin names) which he is sending. Promises the desired bulbs and shrubs in the late autumn. Asks for ripe berries of certain plants and replacement of rose bushes and shrubs lost in transit The last box of plants took 7 weeks on the road and all were dead. Complains of carriers carelessness. After reiterated enquiries about the shrubs sent to R. last spring has learnt from Mr. Bell the postmaster of Newcastle that the carrier he offered them to "refused to take them alleging they were not worth paying the charges, so that Mr. Bell lest they should have been lost planted them in his own garden". Hopes to resume interchange with R. "who is in hopes of finding out a more compendious way of sending things". Offers to send Scotch coins of gold and silver when he can find a reliable bearer. Asks R. to bestow on him fossils, medals and seeds.
