Scope and content
Letter with reference to the "Durham mule" , "the London penny illustrated by Blunt and Whitton, pl. II, 8", "the heavy coinage pence of Durham" and a related die-study of David Walker. Martin Allen also solicits Lord Stewartby's assistance in preparing the survey of research for England, Scotland and Wales to 1485 for the Madrid congress and in compiling a new corpus of hoards closed in England, 1158-1544. MA further notes that offprints from the new volume of the BNJ are attached, complimenting Lord Stewartby for his article with Nick Holmes, and that he would be interested in "any information [Lord Stewartby] may have on the 'Nicoll' parcel of Short Cross coins".
