Y^r note of 300 currant dollars of y^s place has been payd, & deducting 16 & 80 you was indebted to me, w^th five dollars agreed on for delivery of the medals to M^r Stamper, I remain y^r Debtor, 76 dollars & 66 aspers, currant mony of y^s place; & as much more as is the value of a chest of the best visney, w^ch I desire you’l forward to the Rev^d M^r Stonestreet, & advise him it is for my Uncle, Mr Henry Owen, his intimate friend & Acquaintance.<br> Mr Stamper informs me Ap’ the 23 y^t the medals were forwarded according to order. ...<br> The medals I wrote you about, are exceeding dear; the lowest price, as set, being 200 dollars. I have offerd him 30, & will not advance an asper more w^thout your positive order. I enclose the Catalogue of ’em. The hard headed Watchmaker brought ’em unto me, & told me they had a Turkish owner; but by the extravagance of their price I find them to be his. I have sent to Urfa for a large parcel in the hands of a Xtian; & hope to have in a short time, a sight of them; to the great mortification of the Watchmaker, who is the most obstinate & conceited Coxcomb I ever met with. I am glad to hear my poor but willing Endeavours gave you so clear an Idea of the greatest p^t of the Collectⁿ I sent you' [At the end of the letter is a list of the coins offered by the watchmaker, which are summarised in a note by Sherard as follows:<br> Gr.
