Diary of Simonds D'Ewes, 22 May 1646: 'Literas dictavi mane et rarissima aurea Romana Numismata heri empta cum Nathaniele Hallo disposui in ordinem et seriem.... et postea alia Numismata aurea in ordinem redegi.'
[I dictated letters and with Nathaniel Hall I arranged the very rare gold coins I had bought yesterday in order and series. ... Afterwards I put other gold coins in order.]
