Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'And now for the Bargain which you mention of Ancient Coins, to the number of 5500, I cannot upon the sudden say any thing; for my own Purse is too shallow, and my Lords the Duke of Buckingham and the Earl of Pembroke are dead. You say, they are a great bargain at 600. Pounds. I pray therefore, if you have so much Interest in the Seller, send me word, as soon as you can, how many Ounces the Gold Coin comes unto, and how many the Silver, and then I shall be able to judge of the Copper; and then, upon my return to those your Letters, I will give you answer whether I can find any noble spirit that will deal for them or no.' (Boran 2015, vol. 2, pp. 529-31, letter 325; Burnett 2020b, p. 256)
