He tels me he hes given over purchasing Gold Medals having lately sustained some Losses. I suppose ye will take all the varieties of that Mettall that ye can procure. I shall send what I have so soon as I find a Convenient Bearer only I’me a little scrupulous to send them by the common Couriers, for though Plants and Seeds with such like may come safe enough that way yet Gold and Silver are in some hazard especially seing what they carie must be surveyed at so many different places. In the meantime I desire ye would collect what Roman and Saxon Coyns ye can any wayes procure for me and I shall thankfully return the equivalent either in Scotch Coyns or currant English money.'

Is asking acquaintances up and down Scotland to send him finds of stones. Describes a remarkable glistening odoriferous (of violet scent) of 11 oz. stone. Put in warm water it scented the water for 5 days. Pound in a brook 40 miles away. Well attested by learned authority. Will visit the spot in May and collect more specimens and send Richardson some. Is sending R Scotch coins and varieties of gold medals, but «I’m a little scrupulous to send them by the common carrier who can be safely trusted with seeds but gold and silver are in some hazard». Asks to be sent Roman and Saxon coins in return for Scotch coins of equivalent English money. Asks to be sent some East India seeds along with the shrubs, and if possible to procure Mr. Llwyd’s book, as it will be very instructive to him for the prosecution of that study to which he wishes to apply himself. 13665 MS Radcliffe Trust c. 1, f° 30 English Burnett 2020b, pp. 1543 (corr.), 732 (corr.) roman saxon scottish 13665 James Sutherland - Richard Richardson - 1701-1-27 Edinburgh Correspondence.png 2023-04-05T08:34:44Z 2460039.8574537 2023-12-14T13:20:30Z 2460293.0559028 false James Sutherland - Richard Richardson - 1701-1-27 0 0 plainlist leaflet 1 [[:James Sutherland - Richard Richardson - 1701-1-27]] James Sutherland - Richard Richardson - 1701-1-27# QUERYdce8d655f1d8234974040d18e30f63d9 0 0 csv 1 [[:James Sutherland - Richard Richardson - 1701-1-27]] James Sutherland - Richard Richardson - 1701-1-27# QUERY334c6800f2a57b670630d6b5a101d6da
