Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".
'But among all these Inconveniencys the greatest I suffer is from Your Departure wch is more Afflicting to me than the Canicule. I am forc’d for want of better company to converse mostly with pictures statues and Medals: for You must know I deal very much in Ancient Coins and can count out a Sum in Sesterces with as much Ease as in pounds sterling. I am a great Critic in Rust and can tell you ye Age of it at first sigh[t.] I am only in some danger of losing my Acquaintance with our English money, for at present I am much more used to ye Roman.' (Oxford, Bodleian Library, MS Ballard 20, f.38; Graham 1941, pp. 29-30, letter 24; Burnett 2020b, p. 842)
