Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".
'Ys returns you thanks for yr favour of Jan’ the 26th, & the two Chests of Racki & Visney, wch prove very Good, & Came very seasonably. I am glad to hear you have receivd the medals; I expect every day to hear How you approve of ym. I have sent a smal parcel by the Revd Mr Melvil, wch I desire (as you find an Opportunity) you’l be pleased to Dispose of for me; being what I gatherd at several times for yr good self, but (if I mistake not) are most of ym in yos two parcells I have already sent you. I have sett no price; not Knowing what they Cost me. As I recommend ym to so good a Judge, I don’t doubt but yt I shall rather be a Gainer yn a Loser by ym; &, at whatever price you please to Dispose of ym for me, I shall be fully satisfyed, & think myself much obligd for the trouble I give you.'
(Royal Society, MS 254/399)
