Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'I endeavourd all I could to purchase D^r Pikerus his medals; but his B^r was Deaf to all my Entreaties & They are gone wth Him to Xendom. I am sorry mine of Jan. 19 miscarryd, w^ch was to Advise you y^t the watchmaker insisted on 400 $ for his medals, & refused to send y^m by M^r Kemble’s Bark, tho’ I offerd Him any Security for their return, or his Demand if you approvd of them. D^r Pikerus examined them twice, & Assurd me they were not worth w^t I offerd, neither did They correspond w^th his Catalogue, so I hope to supply you better; & Godwilling, by the first Caravan, or other good Conveyance to Smirna I will send you 3 hundred & 31 brass medals w^ch I beg your favourable Acceptance of, & will receive no other return yⁿ w^t you please to Contribute toward my Garden; & w^t will be infinitely more valuable yⁿ All the medals I can possibly Collect for you in Aleppo. ' (Royal Society, MS 254/405; Burnett 2020b, p. 618)
