Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'I have had a letter from Mr. Cornelius Little the last post, acquainting me with his sending up his OTHO by Mr. Collins, & desiring me to send him 40 guineas for it; as allso a Denarius of Augustus, with Caius Marius on the reverse. I am not for buying a pig in a poke; neither if it was undoubtedly genuine was it worth half the money, Lord Pembroke, a little before his death, having bought one of Starbini for 15 pounds, exceedingly well preserved; & as I have a true one allready, I have no farther [desire] about it. However, I should be glad to have your thoughts about it, & a draught of it, which you may certainly have leave to take from Mr. Collins, who must be in town before this time. Mr. Little allso mentions a Denarius of Augustus, which he seems allso to value at a very high rate, & is, indeed, a scarce medal, if the same as I take it to be. He says the reverse has C: MARIVS upon it, which he takes to be the great C. Marius, but relates indeed to C. Marius, one of Augustus’s Triumviri Monetales, & thought by some to be a grandson of the former. I believe the letters upon it are C: MARIVS: TRO: III: VIR: i.e., Caius Marius Trogus triumvir, which sufficiently distinguishes him. I beg a draught of it from you, & an exact copy of the legends on both sides, & that you will seal up the inclosed & forward it as directed by the first post.'
