Lettre du 19 septembre 1702 (d’Edinburgh): 'While Mr. Charleton lived I keept a Constant correspondence with him; and he keept for me such Duplicats of Medals as came in his way and he thought I might want, and now by means of my speciall good friend Dr. Sherard, I’me in hopes to have the same with Doctor Sloane, who has succeeded to Mr. Charletons collection. I’ve heard much of Mr. Stonestreet, both for Shels and Medals, and intend to use my best endeavours for his acquaintance. ... Some ten dayes after I received your’s, and also a Letter from Mr Brown by the common post your Box came to my hands in good condition. It was close nailed, the empty parts filled up with Sawdust, and contain’d about the number of sixteen fossils all wrapt up in papers, one shell, five Brasse Medals, five Silver Ones, two of a Courser Mettall, all Roman, and one small Spainish silver Real. All these were very acceptable; ... I ... shall wait the opportunity of some acquaintance going from this place for London by York, with whom I shall send the Violet smelling stone, Elf arrow, some Fossils got in this country, with what ancient Scotch Coyns I have for you. All shall be put up in a Box, sealed and directed for yow, to be left with Mr James Scourfield, Druggist, in Pettergate, York. ... What ever Ancient Roman or Saxon Coyns ye can purchase for me shall be thankfully repayed with Scotch pieces which I shall reserve for you as they come in my way. I should be glade of a List of the Scotch ones ye have already that I may the better know what to supply you with, and to know whether ye desire any in Gold. Set down the Size, weight, and Inscriptions of the pieces ye have.' (Oxford, Bodleian Library, MS Radcliffe Trust c. 1, f° 92).
