Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".
'Ye last week I received yr Favour of the 15 of Nov’. & the same day attacked my medalmonger, telling him I had a Commission for 200 dollars. & he beleiving I would give no more, wth some Reluctancy deliverd the Medals under my own Seal, for the sd Sum. I hope my Purchase will give yr Worship much more satisfaction yn Mr Bigauds. Be pleasd to expect ym by the first safe Conveyance, wch I heartily wish, & Both the Medals & the Broker favour & Acceptance wth their great Patron [Lord Pembroke, presumably] & yr Worthy self much more Diversion yn This collection probably can give. I am always proud of receiving any Commands, & desire the Continuance of ym, as so many favours. It will be my constant satisfaction to serve you, & am sorry I’m no better able to make any real Addition to wht you have already collected, however so often as you please to honour me with your Correspondence you may entirely depend on my great desire & all Diligence in Serving you.'
(Royal Society, MS 254/392; Burnett 2020b, pp. 617-18)
