'I have both your last letters, one by the post, and the other by Serjeant Eyre. You had no need to recommend that gentleman to me so strongly. I see so few well versed in Antiquities as himself, that it is a great pleasure to me to attend such, and shew them what remains we have left, of different kings, in that way. He has seen almost everything here, and seemed so well pleased, that I will not rob him of the satisfaction of making a recital to you from his own mouth. His Brother and he leave this City to-morrow, where they have been much fatigued with business, in order for their further progress into the more Northern parts.
I have thought it proper to send you two of the Coins supposed to be of Henry I. but your riend and I rather judge them of Henry II. If you find they are of the latter, you need not return them to me; but if the former, you must, because I am under promise to restore them, though I make no doubt but to have a dozen of the same given to me, for the use of myself and my friends; amongst whom you shall be particularly remembered. I send you up also, by the Serjeant, a couple of the stica monies, to add to your Collection, which I beg your acceptance of.' (Nichols 1817-1858, vol. 4, pp. 619-20; Burnett 2020b, pp. 741-2)
