'I had almost forgote a Roman medail that I have gote of Vespasian, with his head on one side and ‘Caesar Vespasianus’, and on the other a woman leaning her head on her hand with a souldier at her back, and beneath either ‘audax’ or rather as I suppose, for its much eliterate, ‘Judea’. ... If you have as yet taken a copy of the coin I sent you in of James the 2d, with Villa de Roxburg, or follen on another of them, I should be glad to have it by the bearer.'
