Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'As to the coin of Quintillus, it is well it was, as you express it, but poorly preserved, and of no great value, for I assure you I never saw it to this hour: if it was not taken out of the letter by the way, I dropped it in the street; which I might easily enough do, for I happened to be going out in haste just as the postman brought my letters, all of which I opened as I went along the street, to see whom they came from, but read none of them till I came to the other end of the town, where I was sorry to see mention made of that coin, and wished you had given me notice of it beforehand, or sent it some other way. At my return, I sent to search in that part of the street where I opened the letter, but in vain.' (Hunter 1832, vol. 2 pp. 26-9; Burnett 2020b, p. 1236 n. 528)
