Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".
'I haue not as yet gotte those meddails I spoke to you of, but am not out of expectation of them. I was to have waited on the gentleman that has them but he was abroad. I was at Portglasgou; the place I need not describe, for I suppose you wer there. I found none there tho I was at some pains to search it. I hade a bit of silver from ane acquaintance ther that was gote among the silver coins, of the fibula kind, like quhat you got ther. I have gote 2 silver coins of James the First, as I suppose, one with Villa de Edinburgh, another with Villa de Roxburgh, some[quhat] broader then a sixpenny piece; as also a Saxon coin, as I take it, of the same bigness. I can make nothing of the kings name; on the reverse is Posui deum adjutorem meum Civitas London; and a lesser on, quhich seems to be one of the Henrys. An accompte of quhat additions you have gote to your noble collection would be extreamly acceptable.'
(EUL, MS Laing III.355, f.79v-80r; Sharp 1937, pp. 112-13, letter 55; Burnett 2020b, p. 1541)
