Letter from Simon Blunt to his sisters Anne Caroline Morrison (née Blunt) and Judith Elisabeth Mustoe (née Blunt), typescript, single page, dated 18 June 2012, noting that Ian Stewartby had been to the house and spent three days looking through the library, fulfilling a promise that he had made to Christopher Blunt to assume responsibility for the library. On his recommendation, two additional volumes were given to the Fitzwilliam Museum. He further recommended that the rest be sold before demand for books dwindled any more than it already had, due to the availability of so much material on-line. Lord Stewartby also put the family in touch with prominent numismatic book dealer Douglas Saville. SWB says that Douglas Saville spoke highly of CEB, describing him as "the perfect English gentleman", and he encloses a copy of a letter just received from him. Douglas Saville spent a day in the library looking through. SWB suggests that any money received from the sale be divided between the three of them. In the lower margin, beneath the signature, it is indicated that the letter was CC-ed to Ian Stewartby. There is also the manuscript note: "Ian, Thank you so much. I do like Douglas".

Correspondence from Douglas Saville to Simon Blunt

Letter from Douglas Saville to Simon Blunt, typescript, single page, dated 15 June 2012, thanking SWB for inviting him to look through the numismatic books of Christopher Blunt. He offers £18,000 for all the numismatic books in the "main library", amounting to "probably rather less than 20% of what is currently of the shelves there", plus a few others stored elsewhere. If the offer is acceptable, he proposes to pack and collect the books at a mutually agreed time and to deliver payment by cheque at that time, adding that he will be happy to augment the offer if he were to find anything of particular significance that had thus far escaped his notice.

Three letters from Hugh Pagan:
(a) typescript, single page, dated 15 January 2012, informing IS of his plans to resume working on "the coins of the 'southern two-line type' [...] struck during the reigns of Eadmund, Eadred, Eadwig and Eadgar". For this, he asks IS if he would allow him to borrow the cards for the relevant coins from CEB's card file.
(b) typescript, two pages on two folios (recto only), dated 30 January 2012, thanking IS for permission to borrow CEB's index cards, which he will be to retrieve from Baldwin's in March. There follow suggestions on how best to dispose of CEB's volumes of NC and an "ex-General Fox set of auction catalogues", the latter of which could be worth as much as £25,000 and not less than £20,000. He says that the Fitzwilliam [Museum] may be have an interest in the catalogues but in addition to budgetary constraints, there will be a problem with duplication and in any case "with Mark [Blackburn]'s death the moment for a transaction of this nature may have passed" but it may be worth pursuing once the new keeper is in place. Another possibility would be the Berlin Coin Cabinet, which the Fox collection of Greek coins.
(c) typescript, single page, dated 26 September 2012, noting that he has only just become of a volume of the Correspondence of Dr William Hunter, 1740-1783, which contains a long letter of October 1770 from his brother-in-law, Rev. James Baillie, saying that he is sending him 57 coins, "evidently predominantly Scots". HEP reproduces an excerpt from the letter showing that the "Roberts and Davids" were found last Spring five miles above Hamilton up the Clyde in a small earthen pot with "a great many small coins of Edward III of England" and that "the two gold coins [...] were found this Summer in a small earthen pot in a kail yard at Biggar" in the south of the County. HEP supposes that Hunter obtained a parcel from the Brownlee hoard.

The discovery concerns William Allen and how he came to have a parcel from the Shillington hoard. According to HEP, William Allen was the son Phebe Lucas, who was herself daughter of William Lucas, of Hitchin, apparently head of the Lucas family that owned land at Shillington.
