| |Grand document='The box that the medals are now in, being of wood without iron hops or any thing of the kind, that another strong iron-hooped chest should be made, for the present one to be put into without its being removed from the Bank, & that chest should have some strong locks with four different keys ...' (Burnett 2020b, p. 1686) | | |Grand document='A violent aversion to discussing on any serious concern wher avoidable, where any difference of opinion is to be expected, prevented my taking notice of a few words that dropped from you after dinner the day I dined with you when I was last in town. They related to an offer made to the King of the refusal of the medals; whether in case they were put up for sale, or whether a downright offer for them for a specified sum was made, I never could exactly make out, but I conclude the offer must have come from you, that he might purchase them only ''in case they were to be sold''. ... I cannot think of giving my consent in a hasty manner to the sale of so considerable a property. ... The box that the medals are now in, being of wood without iron hops or any thing of the kind, that another strong iron-hooped chest should be made, for the present one to be put into without its being removed from the Bank, & that chest should have some strong locks with four different keys ...'
