Jan. 12. This day I writt the following letter to the Dean of York, the famous and learned Doctfor] Gale. Very Rev. Sr-, Haveing been so happy as to have been admitted into yonr presence when I was at York, and to have your commands layd upon me for ye procuring of what old Roman coins I could meet with for your use, I have accordingly gotten eleven from a friend of mine at Doncaster, who tells me that they were found not many years ago at Alburrow by . . . (some of which I formerly shewd to hi...s lordship our right revnd. Diocesan), which my very good friend ye rev. Bearer hereof would needs take ye trouble to bear them unto you. If all or any of them be any way acceptible unto you they are heartily at your service, and if any prove less acceptible unto you by your having speci- mens of ye same, I begg them again towards ye laying of a foundation for a collection for myself. I do not question but that you have met with my name in yo Cat[alogue] of ye MSS. Printed at Oxford. If they were to do again, I could send them ye knowledge of many more besides those which I already have, and am daily collecting for myself.
