Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

I am very glad my poor Coins came safe; indeed my Nephew told me he hoped to have the Opportunity of sending them by the President of Magdalen College. They are but few, and some in bad Condition; but I hope to send better in their stead; and in a little Time to augment the others with an Accession of fresh Heads, which I shall find out in Town if I can; or else I beg of my Lord for you, when at Wympole, where he hath a good store of Medals, as well Antient as Modern. And I doubt not of prevailing with His Lordship in this matter; not only because I found him inclined to make John Kemp's bargain good to you, in case he had bought that Collection. (Wanley 1989, pp. 395-78 Letter 200; Burnett 2020b, p. 1224 n. 391)
