Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".
'If Mr Hesketh has really a mind to have my medals, I shall send you [such] an account of them as I can, for indeed I don’t understand them, but will not part with them without a valuable consideration; they will not spoil with keeping. He saw those I had at Manchester, which were fair and rare, and I have a good many more here, but such very entire ones are but here and there among ’em; I have not yet looked at them since I came. He is a sort of a connoisseur, and if he has a skill therein, should be glad to know at what rate he would desire to purchase, for I design to part with them when opportunity offers, but I cannot pretend to set a price on them till further information.'
(Parkinson 1854-1857, vol. I.2, pp. 562-4; Burnett 2020b, p. 1635-6)
