Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'Voila, Mr., ce que Mr Galland me mande, et vous en voiez bien, qu’il n’y a rien a faire en France, et qu’il est impossible, que vous puissez venir a votre but, par quelq’un qu ce soit.' (The Hague, Koninklijke Bibliotheek, Ms. 72 H 21, ff.77-82 at ff.77v-78v; Burnett 2020b, p. 838)

The letter also communicates Bary's reply to Cuper that he has already spent a lot of money on having his coins engraved with the intention of publishing them, and that he did not want to prejudice his sales.
