Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'I have picked up some Medals, but have not yet met w^th one of my L^d Pembrokes Catalogue, tho’ have sent copies of it to Constantinople, Aleppo & Larissa, from whence daily expect some. As to his Grace y^e Duke of Buckingham’s com’ission, I have small hopes of rendring him y^t service. I cou’d wish there had been but 3 tolerable statues (or rather Busts) bought here this 20 years past. Some few there are in or nations hands, but so deformed, y^t I wou’d not pay y^e freight home to have them. They are rarely found in these parts, & as surely defac’d as dug up.' (London, British Library, Sloane MS 4040, ff.13-14; Burnett 2020b, p. 611)
