Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'You see I am a Collector of Curiosities so as you have opportunity, you may desire your friends who live in sea port towns, if they meet with anything curious as shells, coralls, medals, ancient or modern, &c: to secure them for me & I will pay the cost.' (Finnegan 2013, pp. 193-4; Burnett 2020b, p. 632)
