2 items, paper

Two letters and one note from Harry Manville:
(a) letter, in typescript, dated 7 August 2005, noting that the proofs of the next volume in the reference encyclopedia – covering books, booklets and pamphlets since 1600 – have now gone to Spink [i.e. the publisher], and providing cover for a preliminary listing of the 1669-1673 merk varieties. He adds that he would like to examine the collection of IS, the 4m through ½m only, during a visit "in October-November for a final run-though of the page proofs".
(b) letter, in typescript, dated 5 October 2005, informing IS of the dates of his forthcoming visit to London when he "could be available to check through [IS's] merk series at Baldwin's. HM apologises for missing any publications of IS [for the relevant volume of his Encyclopedia of British Numismatics?] and states that it may be possible to include a few.
(c) note, in manuscript, dated 27 October 2005, with a "post-it" note attached that reads "Ian, Harry left this with me whilst he was in London, Dagley [?]". HM's note concerns a possible exchange of coins with IS and HM's "hope to completely revise the draft merk listing", promising to send IS a copy. HM adds that soon he will have enough material for a "Murray 2" paper and that he has prepared a photocopy of IS's bibliography.
