Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

-Lettre du 3 février 1775 (de Lapal House, West Midlands):He justifies himself from the imputation of seeming to think N. charged him more than the price of old silver for English silver coins; and is also very sorry if N. thought he (Hylton) received more copper coins than the worth of what he had sent N.; and is sorry for having offered to purchase any of his Roman silver coins, for which he offers excuses. He reminds N. that that branch of knowledge (Roman and Greek coinage) will take much labour and time to acquire. He begs him not to think hardly of him or that he had gained any sort of advantage over him in the exchanges. He will gladly lend him Leake’s account of English money, and will be glad to see his memos. of Irish and Scottish coins when he brings them. He asks the price he owes for the 3 pieces which he had just received. «As Mr. Barker is become a formidable rival to us, it will be worth our while to buy up all old silver coin». He can still only hobble about, and therefore asks that if Mr. Wright wants information about the Cotwalton tithes he should not visit but write. (Oxford, Bodleian Library, MS Eng. misc. d. 146, f° 53-54).
