"Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge: Approximate Holdings of Later Medieval English Coins", by Mark Blackburn, in typescript (photocopy), four pages on four folios (recto only), signed "M.A.S.B. December 1987", listing the holdings of short-cross coinage (1180-1247) and long-cross coinage (1247-1485), broken down by reign where applicable and by mint and denominations based on the information of the coin tickets and/or location of the coins in the trays, "which may not be entirely correct". There are about 1581 coins in total, excluding the holdings of Corpus [Christi College] (46 coins), Queens College (100 or more, mostly Edward pennies), and the Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology (unknown number, local finds of poor quality).

Five cards from Philip Grierson, all in manuscript. The first, dated 2 January 1963 (a), concerns arrangements for an upcoming visit of IS to Cambridge. In the second card, dated 17 January 1963 (b), PG states that the Norðleoda laga and Be Mircna laga [Early English Laws] "have nothing to do with Athelstan" but were, in his "private opinion", "systematizations [sic] of Abb. Wulfstan of York and little more than the vagaries of a learned man". He notes that the College is "slightly fractious" that he booked a guest room [for IS?] on the 9th, since there is a feast that evening. In the third card, dated 29 January 1963 (c), PG discusses the logistics of having his [and IS's] work typed, his work on the metrology chapter for Coins & Medals and the forthcoming visit of IS. In the fourth card, dated 11 April 1963 (d), PG writes that "April 20/21 is no good", since he will be in Spoleto then, but he expects to return in time for Metcalf's paper. PG writes that he's "glad to hear about Engel & Serrure" but laments the little time that he has for numismatics work. In the last card, dated 2 May 1963 (e), PG looks forward to another visit from IS, promising to switch from Milanese coinage to whatever subject IS may wish. He also mentions that he despatched a diatribe on mint output to Spink's in response to something that he recently received, but he regrets having done so, as he dislikes controversy.
