Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'and as to my Lord's Collection of Coins and Medals, I have often heard my mother say that my Lady Stamford sold them all one morning to a goldsmith for their weight in gold and silver, which alone amounted to some hundred pounds. I am glad to find that the Table of Coins I sent gave you the satisfaction I expected. In my opinion (between ourselves) I think it rather superior to Mr. Folkes's. I will satisfy you in all the particulars you require the first opportunity. As yet it has not been in my power.' (Nichols 1817-1858, vol. 3, p. 590; Burnett 2020b, p. 1035 n. 246)
