Ch^r [Vice Chancellor], nor in[deed] would the University buy them at any rate. I suppose ’tis y^e Collectio[n] of his Master, tho’ he only tels me, they belong to an ancient Gentleman, who is willing to part with them because his Sight begins to grow dimme; an[d] addes there’s a cabinet to be sold with them, so curious that it was design’d to have been presented to K. James as a repository for his Medals. I have heard Beverlandt commend Peterburrough’s coyns as y^e best collection in England. This I have added because I know not but S^r Roger may be disposed to purchase such a collection. I suppose for a small gratuity we might have a man of judgement & fidelity to view them; and doubt not but they will abate much of the price he proposes, though he says 30ll. a piece have been off^d for so[me]. A Letter may be directed to Mr. Rob^t Welborne, near The E. of Peterb’s House, by the Horse Ferry in Westminster.'
