Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'I here send you, I hope, that coin you value, of him you call Edward the Martyr, but I rather conceive it to be Edward Confessor, of some bad master; it seemeth by the copy you sent, to be your’s, and I hope it will arrive safely with you. I have sent in company, one of King Harold, which you seem to desire; be pleased to accept of it in some acknowledgment for my faults. I have not as yet met with any more of your defects, being not in condition to stir abroad, except very seldom about business of concernment to myself; but if it chance that I be able, I shall not fail to serve you to the utmost of my ability.... Meanwhile, congratulating your good fortune in the augmentation of your plentiful collection.' (Hunter 1832, vol. 1, pp. 215-16; Burnett 2020b, p. 865)
