Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'I render yow most hearty thanks for your promise of procureing me a Correspondence with Mr Thoresby, and shall be very dilligent in collecting for him what Coyns or other things of Antiquitie may be got in this Country. I have doubles of many Roman Silver Denarij, found in severall places in Scotland; a good number of old Scotch Coyns in Gold, Silver, and Copper; and severall Silver Saxon, and English pieces. Those small Roman coyns of course mixt Mettal found in your ground some ten years ago, which ye have by yow, would be very welcome to me, if I knew what to send you in requitall. I want Severals of the Emperours towards the end of the Empire. If you would put them in a litle Box, which seall and direct for me, and leave them with any acquaintance at York, of whom give me notice in your Next, I shall cause any acquaintance that comes for Edinburgh from London call for them; but ye most minde to wrap every single piece in a small Bitt of paper, and pack all closse in the Box that they may not justle one on ane other and readiely deface the Coyn, as I lately found to my great Losse in a parcell sent me from London by my most worthy friend, Mr Charleton of the Middle Temple to whose bounty I’me exceeding obliged.'
