I have neglected no opportunity of buying what medalls presented here, & have writ to all y^e places where I cou’d fix any corrispondence in order to procure them, and yet after above two years search have met but w^th two of his note. Dr Picenini who is gone for England by way of Leghorn will wait upon you, & justify what I write. He is in company with Mr Purnell a Gentⁿ of this factory, who will be glad to wait on my L^d & shew him what medalls he has pick’d up here in about 20 years. I have seen them & cannot guess they are worth in any part of Europe y^e quarter they cost here. I can’t pretend any skill my self, but I have by me most of y^e books necessary for y^e understanding them. Merch^ts have y^e same notion of them, y^t y^e Turks have, y^t they are all jewellery.'
