Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

If this finds you at Chester, be pleased to tender my humble service to his lordship; and if you meet there with any Irish pieces of money, I desire your kindness to purchase some for me. I am very desirous to find those Elizabeth, or Pudsey shillings, Webster mentions in his ‘History of Metals,’ p. 21, that were made of silver ore, in Yorkshire. He says they are marked with a scallop. As you happen upon any of them, lay one or two aside for me, and I shall be obliged to you.
