Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'I make bold to trouble you with a question which I humbly pray a line to. You was so generous as to give me hopes by your Interest with Mr Conduit Warden of the Mint you w^d try to get mee some of the Broad gold when you traffickt for y^r self – Tis now grown so scarce a Commodity that not one piece is to be seen or heard of in the country. If you have been so good \as to think of me/ I shall be exceedingly obliged and will if you Honour me with a line forthwith send up the purchase of them. I greatly want the smallest peices of all of Edw^d the 6 & some of King James & K Charles’s Gold in better preservation as well as some particular peices.'
