-Lettre du 7 août 1647 (?):In Regia penu Numaria, Romanos tangentia Caesares, Augustas, aliosque Occoni memoratos et familias, novem minimum millia aurea, argentea, et aenea Numismata conduntur, quae supremarum Abrahami Gorlaei Tabularum curatores, Henrico Stuarto Cambriae Principi, Regis nostri Caroli fratri germano primogenitori, olim vendiderunt. Et mirum sane est, nullum Germaniae Principem, nec ipsum Henricum Magnum Galliae Monarcham, cui tam sibi oblata sunt pretio, tria librarum millia pro illis dependisse. [In the royal coin collection are kept at least nine thousand gold, silver and bronze coins relating to the Roman emperors, empresses (and others known to Occo) and families [i.e. of the Roman Republic], which the executors of the last will of Abraham Gorlaeus originally sold to Henry Stuart Prince of Wales, the elder brother of our King Charles. And it is amazing that no German prince, nor even Henry King of France himself, to whom they were offered at the price, paid the three thousand pounds for them.] (British Library, MS Harley 377, f.175v ; Burnett forthcoming).
