Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'Hon^d S^r
I am indebted to you for yo^r Fav^r of ye 14^th Feb^{Superscript text}ry w^ch enclosd y^{Superscript text}e Catalogue of Medals fro’ Bro^r Owen, & am much obligd by yo^r Admitting me into that Purchase. The Cargo seems to contain some fine Goods, but a great deal of Course, & for such a large Quantity they run exceedingly small (there being I think not one of y^e 1^st size); for whatsoever Interest you’l be pleasd to lett me have in them I shall return my Thanks, & immediately pay my Quota. I desire to be governd by yo^r Judgmt of y^e Price, after you are servd. I have not returned y^e Catalogue because I am doubtfull whether you want or expect it. Fro’ my little observation in this Science it seems impraticable to make any Thing of a Collection of y^e Medals of ye Colonies, they occur so rarely, y^t I think I have never seen more yⁿ about a dozen of y^m & those of y^e most comon sorts (Troas & Antioch). The Coyns y^t offer in this Countrey are y^e Imperial in Greek & ye Town Pieces. As for y^e Imp’ Latin, tis scarce worth while to meddle w^th ’em, because they are more easily procurd in y^e Western Part of ye Ro. Empire. As for Medaglions of all sorts I doubt they are too choice to come many of ’em into my Hands. Excuse me S^r if I talk w^th an Air of Arrogance unbecoming a very new Disciple. A discourse is amongst us here y^t you have at last taken a very wise resolution of departing pro Patria. If y^e Loss is to be very sudden I shall be sorry upon my own Acc^t, but wⁿsoever it happens shall be glad of it upon yo^rs: My good wishes will heartily attend you, that you may return safely & enjoy the Fruits of yor Labours & Patience in this Countrey. I am
S^r yo^r very obligd & faithful Ser^v
