Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'I will tell you something; the King loves medals; if you ever meet with anything very curious in that way, I should think you would make your court agreeably by sending it to him. I imagine his taste goes to antiques too perhaps to pictures, but that I have not heard. If you learn any purchases that may be made in either kind, and that are beyond your own purse, you may acquaint him through the Secretary of State. I should like to have you make yourself necessary to him in his pleasures as they are so reputable.' (Lewis 1952, vol. 21, p. 449; Burnett 2020b, p. 1068)
