Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'...in complyance with your order have endeavoured by the help of my wife’s brother (who lives near the place) to procure you what I could of the Roman coyn or medalls found at Fleet: and I have now three score of them by me for you, with some few small pieces of the pot they were found in; which I shall keep by me till you or I can find a convenient way to contrive them to you.' (Thoresby 1912, pp. 110-11; Burnett 2020b, p. 858 n. 44)
