Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'I intend with what Convenient speed I can to let yor Lordshp have a Catalogue of all my Consular medals, and an account of the most valuable of them, with the prices that Mr Morel & Mr Vaillant rate them at, and what they cost me when I bought them, & the lowest rate that I shall part with them at. I know that yor Lordshp is no great admirer of modern medals but Mr Fowler having made publick a printed medal of the late Queen I take the liberty of sending it.' (BL, Sloane MS 3962, f.266; Burnett 2020b, p. 370)
