Amongst the Consular medals which yo^r Lord^shp had of me formerly there were 2 of M. Antony, his Legions viz. Leg IIII & leg. y^e 12^th all of which you will find in mons^r Patins familia Antonia. There is in this parcel the chortium Praetorianum a scarse med^l (esteemed 10s) the 2^d Legion 3^d leg. VI leg.VII leg. XIII leg. XX & Leg. XXII and if I meet at any time with the rest I shall keep them for yo^r Lord^shp. There are likewise 2 medals of the familia Procilia which are not common. Amongst the Imperial is a Claudius R. Constantiae Aug Galba R. Victoria P R Hadrian R. Italia Hadrian R. Restitutori Galliae, Hadrian R. Asia Faustina Sen^r R. Concordia Commodus R. Providentiae Aug Julia Severi R. mater Deum. Medals with these reverses are esteemed as rare by M^r Vaillant as yo^r Lord^shp may see in his book. Of the 17 medals yo^r Lord^shp had of M^r Fowler which I had a sight of there were none fit to be in yo^r Collection but ten, viz. 1 Otho 2 Vespasianus Pater 3 Domitian 4 Nerva 5 Traian 6 Faustina Sen^r 7 M. Aurelius 8 Faustina Jun^r 9 L Verus 10 Septimius Severus the other 7 were either false or defaced. It would be a favor if I might know from yo^r Lord^shp what the reverses of the ten are that I may not buy them again. If yo^r Lord^shp aproves of it I shall put up the medals in papers and write upon each paper of the consular medals the name of the family it belongs to & the reverse, & on the Imperial the Emperors or Empresses name with the reverses and send you y^m in a box by the carrier directed to yo^r Lord^shp together with the Oisellius the first opportunity.'
