Transcription from EMLO: 'We came yesterday from Edenbrough; where I was so kindly entertaind by Sir Robert Sibbald & Mr Sutherland; with the perusal of their Museums Coyns & MSS. that I would affoard no time to write to my best Friends. Mr Sutherland's collection of Silver coyns; Roman, Saxon, English & Scottish, is one of the best I have seen.'
