Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'I have the pleasure of yours and I am glad to find, that a new Treatise of our English Coins is likely to be publish’d. I shall be always very ready to oblige Mr Willis, but yor engagement in such a Work might have procured any satisfaction my collection could afford you.' [The letter has drawings of six coins of King Henry, including a round halfpenny, all presumably in Bolton's collection, and also refers to Martin Folkes and Taylor White] (Burnett 2020b, p. 1297)

RemarksRemarks regarding the annotation. (en)

The recipient of the letter is uncertain, but Burnett 2020b, p. 1297 suggests James West 'since material relating to West is in the same folder and we also know that West made use of the Willis collection in his notes on Stephen Leake's book.' (en)
