Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'Pera 31^st July 1716
Hon^d S^r
I gave you y^e Trouble of a Letter under 21^st of June, & soon after receivd yo^r Favour of y^e 22^d of May: I had not been so Tardy w^th my Thanks for it & my Answer to it, but that I apprehended you to be upon yo^r Travels & hope you are by this time returnd in Safety after having met w^th full compensation for all yo^r Fatigue & Expence. I receivd by y^e Hands of Mr March y^e Medal ΦΑΙΣΤΙΩΝ. It may probaly be rare, but I want Skill in Town Pieces, having had no Experience in ’em, & especially when they bear no Inscrip’ they are such dry Food y^t I can’t tast ’em for I have no Book. By y^e Keat (?) Galley I forwarded to you (according to yo^r Co’mand) some of y^e best of a great deal of bad Stuff \from this market/; To say y^e Truth I was almost ashamd of it but considering y^t it was to be disposd of, it might possibly answer your Purpose. I have since found ΜΑΚΕΔΟΝΩΝ ΠΡΩΤΗΣ, ab^t 5^d, w^ch shall go by M^r March & any Thing else y^t offers. I am obligd to you for yo^r kind Profer of a Catalogue & directions for y^e Colony Medals. But to say y^e Truth I have no Hope or design of giving y^m any disturbance, since I shall probably never meet wth a Competent Number of y^e Coyns. My Bro^r Owen bidds much fairer to become a great Proficient in this Science yⁿ my self. I find he gains considerably in his Progressions, but I am sure M^r Paul Lucas has taught him to pay too dear for his Curiosity. I cannot see any Thing in that catalogue to be worth more than y^e Valuation you putt upon it & indeed according to my way of Estimating & Purchasing Medals, I could not have raisd it quite so high. I hope my Bro^r will have y^e Happiness of meeting you at Smirna, because tis what I know he earnestly desires. I am glad to hear you desire to leave some of yo^r Books to him to encourage this study, I hope to reap some Benefit fro’ them. The departure of his Excellence seems at p’sent to be a little at a stand so I hope we shall have yo^r Company till Spring. I have been much indispos’d of late w^th a Fever, w^ch is at last converted into an Ague. So y^t I much entreat you to place to y^e Acco^t of Sickness & disorder y^t w^ch may otherwise look like Negligence. Pardon this Confusion, & believe me to be w^th all possible Respect
S^r
Y^r very obligd & humble Serv^t
W Cross

Esq^r Consul for his Majesty
