Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".
'Yor Lordshps Letter of the 11th Instant came to my hands but yesterday acquainting me that you have met with Vaillant’s Numismata Praestantiora which I am very glad of, it being a book very scarse at present and usefull – informing what medals are common and what rare so far as Postumus. As to Mr Morrell’s death I believe Yor Lordshp was misinformed since an acquaintance of his assured me but 3 days since that he was alive & well the latter end of last April. Monsr Patin indeed is lately dead & I suppose the mistake took its rise from thence. Since Yor Lordshp has not bought Du Fresne’s Familiae Byzantinae, Goltzius, Tristan, nor Antonius Augustinus if they are to be had at reasonable rates I shall procure get them. Yor Lordshps sudden departure out of town gave me not the opportunity of letting you know that I had met with severall medals consular and imperial which are all true & such as you want. I shall keep them by me till I have the honour of seeing Yor Lordshp Yor Lordshp comes next to town on Saturday.' (BL, Sloane MS 3962, f. 235; Burnett 2020b, pp. 370, 372)
