'I had also got a large collection of medals, but last su’mer whilst I was at ye country house, about six hundred of them were stold wch I shall never be able to recover. I have a good number of duplicates wch may be of service to your collection. I have had a corrispondence several years wth Mr Cuper in Holland, who has had copies of several, wch will illustrate ye new edition of his works he is upon, wth ye addition of some new tracts' (BL, Sloane MS 4042, ff.21–2; Burnett 2020b, pp. 614 n. 36, 1126)
