'The book was originally presented by Folkes to Thomas Stack. The Balliol College catalogue notes that there is an "Ink note (possibly by George Coningesby) on the front free endleaf, describing these earlier manuscript additions and taken from 'Osbornes first vol. of his catalogue, selling in 1754, 1755, &c.'" The note has been pasted in and reads:
No. 6436. Folkes’s Table of English Silver and Gold Coins \1745. 4o/ large paper. with a great number of Notes neatly inserted in the Margin, copied out of a manuscript belonging to the late Bryan Fairfax Esq, entitled, a Table of English Silver Coins from the Norman Conquest to the end of Q. Elizabeth’s reign, with their several weights and Alloys, by the Revd George North 1722. Osbornes first vol. of his Catalogue, selling in 1754, 1755, &c.
The annnotations are not very numerous and dry up after Henry VIII, and after the first few pages. They are attributed mostly to North (N), and occasionally to Bryan Fairfax (B.F—x or F--- x). They refer to the works by Lowndes and Sharp, and to a few coins in the collections of Richard Mead, the Earl of Pembroke, James West, Charles Frederick, Browne Willis, and George Holmes'

Folkes, Martin - Catalogue of the silver coins of English Kings since the Norman Conquest in the Cotton Library +
'[p. 1]
Mr Casley having favoured me on the 15th of this present May 1747, with the sight of several antient medals and coins preserved in the Cotton Library. I observed among the same the following silver pieces of our English Kings since the time of the Norman Conquest.<br>
<u>Of the 2 first Williams</u><br>
1. A Pennie with the kings head under a canopy +PILLEMVS REX. reverse a sort of knot. +STEVARA ON PILTN. [William I, canopy type III, Sefara, Wilton, ''BMC'' 219 (no source given).To BM (''BMC'' 219).]<br>
2. Another with the same type. Rev. +PVLFGEAT ON GLEPET. [William I, canopy type III, Wulfgeat, Gloucester. ''BMC'' 187 (no source given). To BM (''BMC'' 187).]<br>
3. Another of the same type. Rev +S....ARD ON PINECE. [William I, canopy type III. Siword, Winchester. Not in ''BMC''. Not to BM.]<br>
4. Another the Kings head with diadem and sort of labels on each side. +PILLEMV REX. Rev. a kind of cross fleurie with intermediate points +EALDGAR ON LVNDE. [William I, Bonnet type II, Aldgar, London. Not in ''BMC''. Not to BM.]<br>
5. Another the king full faced with a scepter. Rev. a cross between 4 bezants charged with the letters P•A•X•S. ill preserved. [William I or II, Paxs type VIII (many in BM). Could be in BM; insufficient detail to identify.]<br>
6. Another the kings head in profile with a scepter PILLEM REX. Rev. a cross between 4 knots. +EDPI ON LVNDNI. [William I, cross and trefoils type VII, Edwi, London, ''BMC'' 464 (‘acquired before 1810’). To BM (''BMC'' 464).]<br>
7. Another the Kings head between 2 stars. +PILLEM REX ANII. Rev. a cross dividing a square with dots at the corners. +GODRIID ON ORƉPI. A fair piece the same incidentally, that is exhibited in Speeds Chronicle as a penny of William the second. [Speed 1623, III, p. 455 (‘William II’). ''BMC'' 359 (‘?Sir Hans Sloane collection, 1753’). In 1617 catalogue and SAL 166, both numbered 2. The ticket under the coin says ‘Sloane cat. 235?’: the Sloane registers existed when Brooke was writing (they were lost in the Second World War), so he must have found something similar, but not exact, there. William I, two stars type V, Godric, Norwich. Probably to BM (''BMC'' 359).]<br>
<u>Of Henry the first</u><br>
8. A pennie, the Kings head full, annulets in each side +HNRICVS RE. Rev. a cross fleurie with points be (sic) between. +IEGLNOƉ ON OXNE. [Henry I, annulets type I, Aeglnoth, Oxford, ''BMC'' 12 (‘from the Cotton collection, 1753’). To BM (''BMC'' 12).]<br>
9. Another the king as in the last but different work +HERICVS REx AN. Rev. a cross fleurie +AC..... TET..... [Henry I, full face cross fleury type X, Aschetil, Thetford. ''BMC'' 71 (‘Cotton collection, 1753’). Not in Speed 1623, but a ‘Speed’ engraving is in the 1617 catalogue (BL, MS Harley 254), numbered 6 (rev. reading: +A......A:TET):, and annotated ‘Hen Hen 2us Fil.’; also in SAL MS 116, numbered 6. Cotton attributes it to Young Henry, Henry II’s son who was crowned King of England in 1170. To BM.]<br>
[p. 2]<br>
<u>Of King Stephen</u><br>
10. A Pennie, sede face somewhat blind. reverse a crosse with flowers be tween the points like the type in Speed. +PILLEME ON CARDI. [Stephen, Type 1, Willelm, Carlisle, ''BMC'' 19 (‘Cotton collection, 1753’). To BM (''BMC'' 19).]<br>
<u>Of Henry. 2. as I think most likely</u><br>
11. A pennie, head with a scepter +HENR. Rev. cross fleurie dividing a square with flowers at the corners. +••AVLFONL [Henry I, quadrilateral cross in fleury type XV, Raulf, Lincoln. Not to BM.]<br>
12. Another same type but the name complete. fair. Rev + •••DBERT ON •••• E. [Henry I, quadrilateral cross in fleury type XV, Rodbert, Gloucester (GLOE). Not to BM.]<br>
<u>Of King John</u><br>
13. A pennie coined in Ireland. +ROBERD ON DIVE. the piece graved in Speed [Speed 1623, VIII, p. 547. IOhANNeS ReX. In 1617 catalogue (BL, MS Harley 254) and SAL MS 116, both numbered 8. An Irish penny of John, Robert, Dublin. Probably to BM: E 2878 (n.b. small hole engraved in correct place)]<br>
13. (sic) A half Pennie, same WILLE ON D. [An Irish halfepenny of John, William, Dublin. Probably to BM: could be any of E 2893–5.]<br>
<u>Of King Henry. 3.</u><br>
14. A Pennie twice struck. this is the individual piece published in Speed as a pennie of King Richard the first. It is very remarkable, as this type has misled not only S<sup>r</sup> Robert Cotton who furnished it to Speed, but also Bp Nicholson Mr Thoresby and others who have wrote concerning English coins. It is however undoubtedly no other than a double struck penny of Henry the third, of the sort that has been commonly ascribed to Henry the second: and upon which by the double stroke the first syllable has been obliterated in the word HENRICVS. So that the legend now stands
RICVSRVSREX. [= Speed VII, p. 529 (‘Richard I’). RICVSR SR EX/+A[]V•ON[ ]NICO. In 1617 catalogue (BL, MS Harley 254) and SAL MS 116, both numbered 7. Short cross penny of Andreu of Lincoln, class Vb or Vc (i.e. John). Not to BM.]<br>
15. A Pennie +HENRICVS REX, same type. Rev. +ABELON LVNDE. [Short cross penny of Abel, London, class V-VII. Could be in BM: could be any of E 2048–50.]<br>
16. Another Do. +R ••••BES ON LVND. [Short cross penny of Pieres, London, class I (i.e. Henry I). Not to BM (E 2071–2 both have his name clearly visible).]<br>
17. A piece of Henry 3. HENRICVS REX III. Rev. a double cross 3 pellets in each quarter. ROBERTOICANT. This is the individual piece published in Speed. is exceeding fair and very singular, as exceeding any one I have seen in breadth and as weighing full 43 grains and a half, which is the double of any other I have met with very nearly. I therefore apprehend it must have been coined for a double pennie, or a two pennie piece. [Speed 1623, IX, p. 590. In 1617 catalogue (BL, MS Harley 254), numbered 9 and annotated ‘Hen 3’; in SAL MS 116, numbered 9. Long cross penny of Robert, Canterbury, class V. Not to BM: nothing of this heavy weight.]<br>
[p. 3]<br>
18. A pennie coined in Ireland. RICARD ON DIVE. somewhat blind. [Henry III, Irish penny. Could be in BM: could be either of E 2899 or E 2901, probably the former as it is in poor condition. (E 2900 has a big hole which surely would have been mentioned.)]<br>
19.20. two more common pennies of the same king. [Presumably two long cross pennies (Henry III–Edward I). Could be in BM, but not enough information to identify them.]<br>
<u>Of Edward 1. And 2.</u><br>
21. The piece called the shilling or by others the groat of Edw 3. This is the individual piece published in Speed. is a very scarce piece. one of them was sold at L<sup>d</sup> Oxfords for more than 5 guineas. +ЄDWARDVS•DI•GRAT•REX ANGL. Rev. DnS HIBn.DVX.AQT. and in the inner circle CIVI LONDONIA. [= Speed 1623, X, p. 644 ‘Edward I’, reading Dn’S hIBn’ Є DVX AQVT. Missing from 1617 catalogue (BL, MS Harley 254); in SAL MS 116, numbered 10 and annotated ‘E 1’. Edward I, groat, London. Probably in BM: E 2202 without provenance (which has Dn’S; E 2201, the other possibility, has Dn•S).]<br>
22. A pennie EDW.R.ANGL.DNS.HYB. Rev. CIVITAS LINCOL. This is the pennie published in Speed. [Speed 1623, XI, p. 666 ‘Edward II’, with reading DMS (sic). In 1617 catalogue (BL, MS Harley 254), numbered XI, and annotated ‘Ed 2’; in SAL MS 116, numbered 11. Edward I, penny, Lincoln. Could be in BM: any of E 2308–11, without provenance (E2311 has a letter most like an M, for what it is worth).]<br>
23. Another. London. [Too imprecise to identify.]<br>
24. Another. Cantor. [Too imprecise to identify.]<br>
25. Another London. [Too imprecise to identify.]<br>
26. A pennie coined in Ireland. CIVITAS DVBLINIE. [Could be in BM: could be any of E 2904–12, without provenance.]<br>

28. A fair half pennie. London. [Could be in BM: could be either of E 2380–1, without provenance (probably E 2380, as it is in good condition).]<br>
29. Another. VATERFOR. somewhat blind. [Could be in BM: could be either of E 2925–6, without provenance (probably E 2925, as it is the poorer specimen).]<br>
30. A farthing. Dublin. [To BM: only a single Dublin farthing in BM (E 2918, no provenance).]<br>
<u>Of Edward 3</u><br>
31. A Halfpenny ЄDWARDVS REX. London. [Edward III, 3rd or possibly 4th coinage (with this form of legend). Could be in BM: could be any of E 4472–3 (E 4475 is illegible), without provenance.]<br>
32. Another Berwick. Singular from the mark Ʒ<sup>5</sup> in 2 of the quarters of the reverse instead of pellets. [dward I–III, Berwick mint, Class 8b (with bear’s head in two rev. quarters). Could be in BM: either of E 2375–6, without provenance.]<br>
33. another half penny somewhat blind. [Too imprecise to identify.]<br>

34. <u>A York pennie ill preserved.</u> [Too imprecise to identify.]<br>
<u>Of Henry. 5.</u><br>
35. A penny annulets on each side of the head. VILLA CALISI. This is the piece published as Henry 6.<sup>th</sup> in Speed. [= Speed 1623, XIIII, p. 761 (‘Henry IV’, not VI, as Folkes says). In 1617 catalogue (BL, MS Harley 254) and SAL MS 116, both numbered 14, and both annotated ‘H4’. Henry VI, penny, Calais. Could be in BM: not enough detail to identify.]<br>

<u>Of Edward. 4.</u><br>
39. a fair Groat. London. the individual piece published as Edward 3''d'' in Speed. [= Speed 1623, XII, p. 684 (‘Edward III’). In 1617 catalogue (BL, MS Harley 254), numbered 12 and annotated ‘Ed tertius’. Something different was written before ‘tertius’ was added, and then crossed out. It looks as if it might have been ‘quartus’. In SAL MS 116, numbered 12. Edward IV second reign, groat, mm. cinquefoil. Not to BM.]<br>
40. Another. Bristol. [Too imprecise to identify.]<br>
41. The Irish groat published as of this King in Speed. but the coin not so distinct as in the print. HIBERNIE is to be read in the last 2 quarters on both sides. [= Speed 1623, XVII, p. 866 (‘Edward IV’); REX ANGLIE FRANCIE/DOMINVS hIBERNII, three crowns. In 1617 catalogue (BL, MS Harley 254), numbered 17; in SAL MS 116, numbered 17 and annotated ‘E 4’. Henry VII, Irish groat (or half-groat if size 2?), misread by Speed, corrected by Folkes. Pagan (in litt.): ‘one of those anonymous Three Crown Irish groats which having rested safely under the heading Edward IV for some three and a half centuries was reattributed by Michael Dolley to the opening months of the reign of Henry VII.’ It is possible that this coin was procured for Cotton by his librarian Richard James from a ‘Mr Twine’, probably Bryan Twyne (1581– 1644) (See [[Richard James - Robert Bruce Cotton|Richard James - Robert Bruce Cotton, BL, Cotton MS Julius C III, f.217]]). Too imprecise to identify.]<br>
<u>Of Henry. 7.</u><br>
42. A york pennie the King in his throne. keys under the arms. [Henry VII, York, penny. Could be in BM: not enough detail to identify.]<br>
43. Half groat full faced. London. clipped in the inner circle. [Henry VII, London, half-groat. Probably not in BM as nothing as clipped as Folkes seems to describe.]<br>
44. Another keys by the head. ЄBORACI. [Henry VII, York, half-groat. Could be in BM: not enough detail to identify.]<br>
45. Another side faced. POSVI &c. [Henry VII, York, half-groat. Could be in BM: not enough detail to identify.]<br>
46. Another marked with a martlet. keys under the arms. [Henry VII, York, half-groat. Could be in BM: not enough detail to identify.]<br>
<u>Of Henry. 8.</u><br>
47. A side faced Groat [Too imprecise to identify.]<br>
48. A Half Groat with the side Face. Canterbury. T.C. [Henry VIII, half-groat, Canterbury (Cranmer). Could be in BM: BM has three examples without provenance (E 0131–30).]<br>
49. A Durham penny T.W and the Cardinals hat. [Henry VIII, penny, Durham (Wolsey). Could be in BM: BM has seven examples without provenance (E 0158–64).]<br>
50. A Gunhole groat full faced. fair. [An example of the first issue (1544) of debased full-faced groats of Henry VIII.]<br>
51. A very base Teston or shilling mark ʘ. [Henry VIII, testoon, mm. annulet and pellet. Probably to BM: could be either of E 0063–4; E 0064 is the worse looking!]<br>
52. A Bristol half Groat. very base. the K. full faced arms on the rev. [Henry VIII, half-groat, Bristol. Could be in BM: the BM has two examples without provenance (E 0144–5).]<br>
53. An Irish Groat. H.J. by the Harp in the time of Jane Seymour. [Henry VIII, Irish groat with letters H I. Could be in BM: the BM has two examples without provenance (E 3000–1; perhaps 3001?)]<br>
<u>Of King Edward the 6<sup>th</sup></u><br>
54. A very base shilling marked with a fleur de lis, and has been dated M•D•L•I. the the last one is now blind. it is countermarked with the figure [p. 5] Of a Greyhound sitting. This mark of a Greyhound was stamped as Stow informs us in his Chronicle upon the basest of King Edwards shillings, to give them currency for a little time at two pennies one farthing each. these were 9 oz in the pound base to 3 ounces of silver; the second sort that were 6 ounces fine, were at the same time countermarked with a portcullis and let pass for 4<sup>d</sup> half penny each. I take this piece to be a very great rarity, so few of them having been preserved. I had searched for one in vain several years, but never saw before this, in the cabinet of the R<sup>t</sup> Honble the Earl of Pembroke where it now is. [Edward VI, shilling, 1551 with lys mm, and greyhound countermark. Very probably to BM: the BM has one such coin without provenance (H. A. Grueber, ''Handbook of the Coins of Great Britain and Ireland in the British Museum'' (London, 1899), No. 458).]<br>
55. a base shilling of M•D•XL•IX. the mark obliterated. [Edward VI, shilling, 1549. Probably to BM: the BM has one such coin without provenance (E 0266).]<br>
56. Another, same mark but blind. [Too imprecise to identify.]<br>
57. A rare half penny, as I take it out of the same King, but the E•D•G is obliterated. [Edward VI, halfpenny, 3rd coinage. To BM: Grueber 1899, no. 473.]<br>
<u>Of Philip and Mary.</u><br>
58. A Sterling Pennie, but not fair. [Too imprecise to identify.]<br>
<u>Of Queen Elizabeth.</u><br>
59. A milled three penny piece with the arms on a broad cross the date 1575. this is the piece engraved in Speed. exceedingly rare. I never saw but one before,
which is in the cabinet of D<sup>r</sup> Mead. [Speed 1623, XXIIII, p. 1152, mm mullett, 1575, size 3. In 1617 catalogue (BL, MS Harley 254), numbered 23; in SAL MS 116, numbered 24. Elizabeth, milled 3d. Could be in BM. BM has three, one is holed, leaving E 0578 or Grueber 1899, no. 520 as possibilties.]<br>
60. A milled three farthing piece. very fair and neat. this is also rare. I never saw more than one other, sold for a guinea at the Earl of Oxfords sale. [Elizabeth, milled three-farthing. To BM: BM has only one piece, without provenance (Grueber 1899, no. 527).]<br>
61. An Irish groat with 3 harps 1603. [Too imprecise to identify.]<br>
62. A small silver piece with a rose on one side and E•R on the other. [Elizabeth, silver pattern halfpenny. Not to BM: BM has only one piece, acquired in 1844.]<br>
63. An Irish copper penny 1601. [Elizabeth, Irish, debased silver penny. Perhaps to BM: BM has two with very coppery appearance (E 3045–6)]<br>
64. A Briots two penny piece bare headed of K. [Charles I. Probably to BM: BM has two pieces, one of which lacks provenance (Grueber 1899, no. 600).]<br>
[p. 6]<br>
<u>Pieces omitted.</u><br>
65. An aquitain pennie of Edward. 3. A Lion passant under the head EDWARDVS•REX•ANGL. Rev. a crown in each quarter DVX•AQVITANIЄ. it is
pretty fair and a scarce piece. [Edward III, Aquitaine, penny. Elias 56. Taylor Combe, ''Description of the Anglo-Gallic Coins in the British Museum'' (London, 1826), pp. 49–50, nos. 11–12 (no provenance given; both “EDWARD’”) = Grueber 1899, no. 273 and E 361. Probably to BM.]<br>
66. A penny of Edw 4. Irish the sun and rose by the head. a rose in the center of the reverse. the legend clipt off. [Edward IV, Dublin penny, rose on cross issue. Could be to BM: the BM has four examples without provenance, all more or less clipped (E 2964–7).]<br>
67. A French gross of K. Henry the sixth. fair. [Henry VI, as King of France. Grand blanc aux écus. Combe 1826, pp. 76–7, nos. 6–10: only 9 has no provenance = Cotton’s? It has a fleur de lys mint-mark = E.R.D. Elias, The Anglo-Gallic Coins (London, 1984) 288 (St Lô). Probably to BM: the BM now has two such coins without provenance (E 3735–6), both exactly the same weight. Probably E 3726, as it is the nicer coin.]<br>

Folkes, Martin - Treatise on the Roman coinage and weights of metals - London, British Library - Add MS 4391 +
A MS among the papers of Thomas Birch in the BL (and wrongly attributed to him in the BL catalogue). Its contents align closely with the summary of a dissertation read by Folkes to the Society of Antiquaries on 15 and 22 January 1735/6, and recorded in the Society's minutes (Vol. II, pp. 139-40).
'The manuscript covers Roman, Greek and Jewish coinage, in that order. The Roman section is the longest, accounting for about half of the paper, and the coins are treated, in turn, by metal, silver (ff.1–8v), bronze (ff.8v– 12r), gold (ff.12r–14v), with a coda on late Roman silver (ff.14v–15r). The discussion of Greek coins is ff.15r–21v, and includes a section on what Folkes regarded as Roman coins struck to a Greek standard (ff.20r– 21v).38 The work concludes with a rather shorter account of Jewish coins (ff.21v–23v).<br>
His approach is metrological, starting, much in the long tradition stemming from Budé, with the texts and then moving on to the weights of the actual coins themselves, many of which he had weighed himself. The coins he had weighed are:
: Greek coins: ‘old’ Athens, Rhodes, Sicily, cistophori, Alexander the Great, Lysimachus and the Ptolemies; Roman coins: Republican gold (Palazzi and Medici collections), Republican and early imperial gold, imperial denarii including Nero (where he had noted the weight reduction), gold coins of the 3<sup>rd</sup> century in the Medici cabinet, and late Roman solidi.
... Folkes does not cite other modern authors very much, although he refers to Orsini and Savot (ff.6r, 20v),40 in both cases to disagree with them.' (Burnett 2020b, pp. 1110-12) +

Aussitôt que possible je vais lui écrire à propos de deux ou trois monnaies, parmi celles qu’il m’a envoyées et qui manquent dans ma collection ; je vais lui envoyer la liste et je lui donnerai une description de celles que je garderai pour moi-même ; c’est-à-dire les monnaies des villes [les monnaies romaines provinciales] et non celles impériales [c’est-à-dire des ateliers occidentaux et à légendes latines] » (Ravenna, Biblioteca Classense, Busta 31, fasc. 21 Class. 2.2a ; voir Callegher 2020). +
-Lettre du 17 avril 1756 (de) : « Mes hommages au P. Gioanneti pour lequel, je l’espère dans ces deux jours fériés, mettre au point le catalogue de mes médailles doubles, et lui l’envoyer. Je dis « je l’espère » car j’ai besoin de deux ou trois jours réservés à moi-même seulement ; deux ou trois jours de congé que jusqu’à ce moment, je n’ai pas eus. En attendant, je vous prie de réserver pour moi la Crispine, que je peux dire n’être pas dans ma collection parce que la pièce que je possède est trop corrodée et usée ; au contraire je possède une Julia Mamaea, mais étant donné qu’on ne connait pas le revers, je ne peux rien en dire ; au sujet de l'autre, le Maximin à la Victor [ia] German [ica], je peux juste vous dire de ne pas m’obliger à son achat car j’ai déjà ce revers » (Ravenna, Biblioteca Classense, Busta 31, fasc. 21 Class. 2.2a ; voir Callegher 2020). +

-Lettre du 8 octobre 1735 (de Clermont) : « L’embarras des vendanges a été cause Monsieur que je n’ai pu vous donner plutôt des nouvelles de la médaille dont vous méditez la conquête. Je l’ai eue, elle est bien frappée. Le buste de Trajan en est parfait, elle n’est pas tout à fait si grande qu’une pièce de douze sols et d’un très bel or. La légende qui est autour du buste contient ces mots : Imp. Trajano Aug. Ger. Dac. PP RE Cos VI P.P. et au revers est la colonne au sommet de laquelle est la figure de Trajan en petit avec la légende S.P.Q.R. OPTIMO PRINICIPI. Sans date donnée. Elle mériterait bien à ce qui me semble de trouver place dans votre médaillier, mais l’orfèvre à qui elle appartient fait le ( ?). Je n’en ai encore offert que 24tt et lui ai dit que j’écrirais pour savoir si l’on voulait aller plus loin, mais que je serai surpris qu’il fit le difficile sachant qu’il l’avait laissée à 24tt au religieux dont il me parlait. Il m’a juré qu’il n’en avait rien demandé à ce religieux et qu’il lui avait simplement dit qu’il en avait refusé 36tt. A quoi le religieux lui répondit qu’il n’était point assez riche pour faire les médailles en or qu’il ne cherchait que des / médailles de cuivre. Je vous rends compte Monsieur de tout afin que vous voyez jusqu’où vous voulez aller au cas qu’il ne veuille pas la donner pour 30tt. J’ai pesé la médaille avec un Louis d’or ; elle pèse 1( ?) grains de moins que le Louis. L’orfèvre m’a ajouté que cet or valait 12tt le gros et ( ?) sans aucun alliage. … » (Paris, BnF, Manuscrits, Français 15185, f° 151 et 152r). +
-Lettre du 19 octobre 1735 (de Clermont) : « Je suis bien mortifié Monsieur de n’avoir pu réussir dans l’emplette que vous m’aviez chargé de vous faire. J’ai offert les 30tt mais l’orfèvre m’a abjuré qu’il en refusait actuellement 33 et qu’il ne la donnerait pas moins de 36, apparemment que quelqu’autre personne a eu le même avis que vous. J’ai reçu lettre aujourd’hui d’Allemagne [nb : nouvelles sur le mouvement des troupes] » (Paris, BnF, Manuscrits, Français 15185, f° 153r et v). +
-Lettre du 25 octobre 1735 (de Clermont) : « Suite à votre dernière, j’ai Monsieur terminé la négociation de la médaille que vous trouverez ici incluse. L’orfèvre s’est bien persuadé qu’il en tirerait ce qu’il avait résolu d’en avoir. Je l’ai cependant eu pour 35tt en sorte que j’aurai 20s à vous rendre. Il m’a avoué qu’on ne lui en avait rien offert à Paris parce qu’il n’avait pas eu le temps d’y rester ayant été obligé de partir pour Versailles, mais il croit que c’est la personne qu’il n’a pu voir qui lui en a fait offrir 33tt depuis son retour, il était Monsieur inutile de m’envoyer de largesse. L’avance qu’il s’agissait de faire était si peu importante que vous ne devriez point douter que je ne l’eusse faite avec plaisir. Je souhaite que cette conquête vous procure bien celui dont vous vous êtes flatté. Vous trouverez en la voyant tout ce que j’ai eu l’honneur de vous en marquer. Je vous rends mille grâces de vos nouvelles ; elles ont rassuré les dames de ce pays dont les maris sont en Allemagne » (Paris, BnF, Manuscrits, Français 15185, f° 149r et v). +
