Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'I herewith return you Mr. Sutherland’s letter, which indeed I intended to send by this post tho’ you had not writ to Mr. Richardson. I see my collection of Scots coyns is very imperfect, but so is it also as to Saxon and others. I mean to leave your 5 pieces which you sent by Mr. Killingbeck with Mr. Derring who stays at Bishopthorp during my absence at London. He shall send them to you by the first opportunity. I have not had so much time to spare as to look nicely into Du Fresne’s book of the coyns of the Greek Emperors, in order to the finding out to which of them these do belong. The largest and the tamest of them I take-to be Heraclius his. The rest I will not so much as guess at, tho’ I find such sort of reverses frequently in the book I now named. The silver coyn I know not what to make of.'
