'Be pleased to send me also a hand glass for reading medalls, wch daily increase upon me, so yt I hope to make, tho’ not a compleat, yet a large collection of wch many undescribd. I sent my Ld Pembroke seven silver ones of his catalogue by or convoy, inclos’d to Mr Hill of ye Admiralty, & since yt I have two more wch shall be sent with what Greek inscriptions I have, by first safe occasion; & then I shall presume to write to his Ldship again.'
