Shelfmark: MS. Rawl. D. 377, fol. 42
Desires information about the English office for insurance against fire for the King of Prussia; the Emperor of Germany "is one of the oddest figures of a man that ever I saw, and the ceremonies of his court are extraordinary;" the Count of Swartzbourg’s collection of medals at Arnstet; Morellus, [the keeper of it,] "is certainly the greatest man in his way in Europe."
With regard to the medals, see Fountaine’s Numismata Angl.-Sax., etc., at the end of Hickes’ Dissert. Epist., p. 166.
