One car and two letters from Robert Seaman with attachments"
(a) card, in manuscript, dated 14 September 1977, referring to two enclosures consisting a copy of a letter from RJS to Peter Seaby about "Stephen dates" and a chart referred to in the letter, neither of which is with the card.
(b) letter, in typescript, single page, dated 25 October 1977, described as a "progress report". Following IS's suggestion, he is looking at "the three Stephen hoards", having already re-examined the Watford hoard and the Nottingham hoard and now considering the South Kyme find. He asks whether it would be alright, once he has put his thoughts to paper, to send a draft to IS and then meet to discuss the work.
(c) letter, in typescript, single page, dated 7 December 1978, explaining that he has completed "tidying-up exercise on [his] paper about four Stephen hoards" and is enclosing a revised draft. All that is left to do, he says, is to write up the references, and he wonders whether it will be enough simply to refer to a Michael Dolley paper on the spelling of the king's name. He concludes by asking for a meeting once IS had read the paper and also asks his advice about the most appropriate venue for publication.
(d) attachment, ten-page draft paper (recto only), in typescript, undated, entitled "A re-examination of four coin hoards containing coins of Stephen, with a view to checking on the date of deposition", with two further pages, one of addenda and the other of the references, undated, with corrections penciled in.
