Chishull cites the books by Beger, Goltzius, Wheler and Haym, asking if he could borrow Beger for the purpose, and adding 'there are seven more wanting, unless Mr Haym could obtain them from y<sup>e</sup> cabinets of y<sup>e</sup> D. of Devonshire, or any Ld. Pembroke.' (Royal Society, MS 253/187; Burnett 2020b, pp. 608-9, 977, 1018 n. 128) +
'At the same time I beg the favour of y<sup>r</sup> lending him [Mr. Sturt] Patins Numismatat to copy from thence pag. 94 the figure of Apollo Didymeus out of a middle brass coyn of Caligula. which coyn in Patin I beg you would look out in y<sup>e</sup> book & show to him for fear of mistake. He will show you how and where I design it.<br>
I want likewise to be copyed by him a small coyn of K. Prusias out of Spanheim de prest. numism. 1<sup>st</sup> Vol. fol. imag. 5/4. if it be not too much trouble for you to send him likewise that Book, which he will return y<sup>e</sup> same day you send it.<br>
...<br>
I beg my humble service to D<sup>r</sup> Mead: from whom I am promisd this favour of these coyns you brought home now placd in y<sup>e</sup> cabinet of the Duke of Devon, viz. ΚΝΩΣΙΩΝ ΠΟΛΧΟΣ Haym 2<sup>d</sup>. Part pag. 117. [retrograde script] pag. 144. ΣΑΞΙΩΝ pag. 147. But if I cannot see them in time I shall be contented with copying them from M<sup>r</sup> Haym.<br>
...<br>
But I now principally want a good coyn or two ΤΗΙΩΝ with y<sup>e</sup> reverse a Bacchus cum cantharo, older than the times of y<sup>e</sup> Roman Emperors if it may be had, and about the procuring of this I beg you would confer with D<sup>r</sup> Mead, and use your joint endeavours to favour me with it.'

-Lettre du 4 août 1694 (de ?): Has an introduction to may ‘Lord’ Rawlinson whose coll: of M.S.S. is second only to that of Sri John Cotton. Design to reprint Stowe’s London with additions. Sir Warrys Charcey’s Herlfordshire & Mr. Evelyn’s Book of Medals are both in the Press. (Oxford, Bodleian Library, MS Ballard 4, f° 60). +
'This day, Mr. Walker was desiring a little of my assistance, to put the coins in order, that every man may have his own. I suppose we shall set aside some day next week for that business, and afterwards your’s shall be carefully delivered to any one you shall think fit to trust with the carriage of them. Mr. Walker has now almost finished, and the whole body consists of eight plates, which are very beautiful, and will be a great ornament to the book. So soon as there is one entirely finished, you shall have it sent, enclosed in a letter, and from thence you may judge of the rest.' (Hunter 1832, vol. 1, pp. 156-7; Burnett 2020b, pp. 864-5) +
'I know you have examined the coins in Camden with great nicety, and can tell at one view, what we have and what we want. The favour, then, that I desire is, that you will review Mr. Walkers coins and notes; and add by themselves a table or two, (according as the number shall rise) of such as he omitted or have been since discovered, with your own annotations upon them, in order to be added in the new edition. This, I know, you can do with greater ease, advantage, and exactness, than any man in England; and therefore, to be plain, it is a request wherein I will not be denied; to which (now my hand is in) I will take the liberty to add another, that you will be so kind to do what you judge convenient upon this head, as soon as your other affairs will permit, because the revisal of Camden, in order to the press, is well nigh finished.' (Hunter 1832, vol. 2, pp. 200-1; Burnett 2020b, p. 866) +
'I little thought, till your last letter but one, that I had forgot to return my hearty thanks for your additions to the Britannia, and to signify to you how proper and useful they are, in my opinion, from beginning to end ... My acknowledgments, in the next place, are due for two letters concerning the Saxon coins; one received by the post, the other enclosed in a letter, which I had the honour to receive yesterday from the Archbishop of York, and both very instructive, in order to an easy and accurate knowledge of those coins. After my most hearty thanks for them, I must desire your directions as to the place where you think they may be best inserted: my opinion is, that, being a key to the reading of the coins, they will stand most conveniently before Mr. Walker’s annotations relating to each table, with an addition of your name and Mr. Walker’s, as the respective observations upon the several tables succeed in their turns.' (Hunter 1832, vol. 2, pp. 214-16; Burnett 2020b, p. 866) +
Lettre du 22 novembre 1676 (de Paris): Sends an enclosure to Mr. Hyde and hopes he will take some care in satisfying the worthy undertakers of St. Augustine. «The bearer of the letter Mr. Wheeler is worthy of yr. acquaintance he is of Lincoln College» and hath travelled Greece and collected antiquities and medals and also a sylloge of the plants.
