Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'[He regrets WT’s departure.] Mi dispiace, che La partenza di Va Eccza Christianità (sic), levà a me L’occcasione di puoter farne qualche demonstratione di cosi grande Obligatione che in me sento. Ma ben’ osservarò il quanto m’accenna il suo Segretario il Sigr Tomaso Coke che truovandone in medaglie qualche pezza degna della di Lei Curiosità di parteciparglila anche in Inghilterra. [Asks for support of his successor.]' (London, British Library, Add MS 72529, ff.27-9; Burnett 2020b, pp. 602-3)

['I am sorry that the departure of your Christian Excellency gives me the opportunity of being able to make some gesture of the great sense of obligation that I feel. But I will certainly keep in mind what your secretary Mr Thomas Coke mentioned to me that, in finding among medals some piece worthy of your interest, you will also be able to share it in England.' (translation from Burnett 2020b, p. 603)]
