Note from F. Elmore Jones with attachments (NB: the first three items were together while the photographs were separate without any cover letter; it is unclear whether the photographs are related in any way related to the first three items):
(a) manuscript (original), single page, dated 28 September 1973, unattributed but unmistakably in the hand of F.

The note indicates that "Three coins are missing" and that two "Two coins have been switched".
(b) manuscript (photocopy), two pages on two folios (recto only), undated and unattributed but again unmistakably in the hand of F. Elmore Jones, with the heading "Sheldon Find of 1867 (95 pennies & 7 cut halfpennies): Analysis of coins illustrated in W. J. Andrew's paper B.N.J. VII (1911) plates 1 & 2", with brief descriptions of individual coins or groups of coins illustrated in the article.
(c) offprint: W. J. Andrew, 'A remarkable hoard of silver pennies and halfpennies of the reign of Stephen, found at Sheldon, Derbyshire, in 1867', British Numismatic Journal, vol. 7 (1911), 3-65 & pls. I-II, with front cover missing
