Three letters from Ian Stewart to Christopher Blunt:
(a) letter from Ian Stewart to Christopher Blunt, manuscript, one folio (recto & verso), dated 3 June 1964, enclosing the remounted London and Wulfred plates for their article and explaining the manner in which the coins are numbers in the plates. He is returning CEB's Eretcod cast, "since the BM specimen has produced a tolerably good cast"; he prefers to use the BM coin is it is one that he refers to in his text and has never before been illustrated. He notes that his Warwick Group notes turned up in the Balliol boathouse.
(b) letter from Ian Stewart to Christopher Blunt, manuscript, one folio (recto & verso), dated 19 September 1964, submitting an article for the next BNJ but making no reference to a title, stating that it's all he has to offer in the absence of collaborations [in preparation] with [William] Seaby and [RBK] Stevenson. He notes the illustration requirements and asks CEB to fill in two small points in the footnotes, giving the BMC types of the Henry I coins that match Snelling's nos. 19 & 20, presumably VIII or XII, and the lot number for Drabble's Willem-on-Card.
(c) letter from Ian Stewart to Christopher Blunt, manuscript, one folio (recto & verso), dated 6 December 1964, submitting his joint article on the Balleny hoard of Scottish hoard of Scottish groats [with William (Bill) Seaby] and apologising for its messy aspect. He thanks CEB for the hospitality that he recently showed to the Warwick Group and, in a postscript, asks CEB whether he owns a styca of Eanred, moneyer Wintred, transcribing the legend (which is runic or has runic elements); he notes that his collection has two such specimens from the same die and wishes to find a good home for one of them.
