As to medals I’m greatly Ignorant, & in Truth, of most things; but a passionate Lover & Admirer of These y^t are not: the Utmost of my Abilitys I devote to y^r Service, & you may safely depend on a sincere will & fidelity in what I promise. So soon as y^r kind Leter came into my hands, I enquired after & found in the hands of a Xtian of this Country a very costly parcel, valued at three hundred Dollars, for w^ch a Frenchman bid 200 & 50 for their Academy &c. There is the worth of about fifty doll’ in Gold & Silver; but having no Commission from y^r worthy self, nor any other Correspondent to venture so far I held the Owner in Suspense till a more favourable Opportunity.'
