Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'I have not been unmindful of your injunctions to me about Tom Martin’s coins of Carausius, but he is really so very unsteady that I cannot tell how to get them. He assured me the last time I saw him that he would call on you in London, & give you four coins that he then had in his pocket, but whether they will ever reach you, the man in the moon, if there is such a monarch, knows better than I do.'

(Lukis 1882-1887, vol. 1 pp. 404-5; Burnett 2020b, p. 1286 n. 1092)
