Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'Your letter of the 14th Septr came safe to my hands and in which you tell me you have lodged £333 in the hands of my agents Messrs. Gray & Ogilvie. The medals shall be packed up exactly as you direct, as were those I sent to L^d Morton and for which his L^p paid 800£ tho’ as far as I can remember they were not either much more numerous or curious than this collection. I flatter myself that you will find among these medals several worthy of a place in your Collection, and that the sale of the rest will prevent your being a loser. However should it turn out otherwise and there is to be any loss I beg it may be mine as the purchase was certainly made without your order and you have acted, as you always do, most handsomely on this occasion. A Swede or Danish ship will soon be freighted here directly for London, and I shall seize that opportunity of sending you a strong box with the medals safely packed according to your directions and shall send you timely notice with the bill of loading that you may have them ensured.' (MacDonald 1899, p. xxx; Brock 2008, vol. 2, p. 348, letter 444; Burnett 2020b, p. 1056 n. 429)
