Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'I had only one of them [a violet smelling stone] which I had promised when I first got it to my Honoured and most bountiful Patron, Mr Charleton [Courten] of Middle Temple, who has very generously gifted me with many choice and curious Roman Medals, in Brasse Silver and some in Gold, and continues yet to keep for me such duplicates as come to his hands which he knows I want. ... I thank you for promising to engage your Correspondents to collect for me Ancient Coyns, there is nothing can be more acceptable to me, and I shall thankfully pay for what I get of that Sort.'

(Cowan 1933, p. 47; Burnett 2020b, p. 1542)
