Revd Sir,

I herewith return ye Catalogue, for ye sight of which I return you my Thanks. Dr Shuckford has enter'd none but ye Brass Imperial Medals. among which, I can find none, at most very few, that are scarce. It is Pity he did not go through with his Work, and take an Invetory also of ye Silver Imperial, Consular, Urbium et Populorum, &c. Which, from what little notice I had an Opportunity of taking, when Mr Halford shew'd Me Them, seem'd to be ye much more Valuable Part of ye Collection.
