'I workt hard & drew up what is on the other side this morning [Part of the letter is a draft of his A Table of the old Coins of the Kings of England, not quite as printed in 1733]. It requires more time & thought & to see more Cabinets than I have gone thro: tho: I have penciled down every thing, & where I see what I remark. I am very glad you have got Mr Welham’s Hoard, I hope besides what I viewed you will get the other Gold peices – I fancy I could \to good advantage/ chaffer any duplicates – you had abt 12 pretty peices. I observed the Portcullis Crown of Eliz: was one but there were others I should better prize – I heartily hope it may be in my power to help good Dr Bettesworth in any respect & shew my gratitude.'
