Spanhemius, only the H & O are worn out w^th time: IMP M OT are very legible on one side & S C on the other.<br> The owner of y^m is very extravagant in his demands so shall compare y^m wth the Catalogue, w^ch I intend to send you the next Conveyance, & desire you’l acquaint me in your answer to This, the utmost you are willing to give for them, y^t I may govern myself accordingly. The Otho he values at an hundred dollars.<br> It is my particular satisfaction y^t the last parcell gave content, being ambitious not only of serving you, but of serving you to y^r mind. As to that small parcell I sent by M^r Melvil, I shall be extremely pleasd wth y^r disposal of y^m as you think fit, being confident you know their worth (be it more or less) & scorn to undervalue y^m. Mr Bird’s Collection is very undeserving the Character you had of It, & if I am not very much mistaken, He has not a medal but wh^t I have already sent you. The best in Alep’ is D^r Pikerus his Collection; & if you think fit to write Him but a line, I dare venture to say, He is able, & will be very ready to send you his Duplicates, & doe you any other service y^t lyes in his power. If you please to have one of the same w^th Capⁿ Kempthorn’s, I believe I can purchase one for you.'
