Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'As to the Coin I intend to draw up a Catalogue of them & send it to you that you may be a better judge of their value. If I could not dispose of them to my liking I shoud be as glad to purchase as sell but of this I mean to give you further trouble.' (BL, Harley MS 3778, f.78; Burnett 2020b, pp. 617 n. 385, 1039 n. 277)

RemarksRemarks regarding the annotation. (en)

Inside, the letter is addressed to Henry Fleetwood, ‘Membr of Palrliamt at Mr Chetwynds in Golden Square’, but this must be a mistake and Wanley’s name appears on the outside as the addressee (en)
