Letter from Christopher Blunt to Ian Stewart and two letters from Ian Stewart to Christopher Blunt:
(a) letter from Ian Stewart to Christopher Blunt, manuscript, one folio (recto & verso), dated from St George's Rd, SE1, on 11 December 1968, asking CEB to check a reference in the Ducatus Leodiensis reputed to state that there were coins of William I in the Bramham Moor hoard. He suspects that the references may be to coins of William the Lion, whose coins were not recognised in 1756, and further wonders whether coins of David I and Malcolm IV might have been in the hoard.
(b) letter from Christopher Blunt to Ian Stewart, manuscript, one folios (recto & verso), dated 22 December 1968, with an enclosure of some sort that is not clearly described. He thanks IS for coming to their "little party in Albany on Friday", referring also to Lady Stenton. There are annotations in pencil in Ian Stewart's hand on the verso.
(c) letter from Ian Stewart to Christopher Blunt, manuscript, one folio (recto & verso), dated from Southwark on 29 December 1968, saying that it was kind of CEB to remember "Tingstäde" [Gotland, Sweden] for him. He says that, since returning to Ireland, M [i.e. Michael Dolley] had sent him the plates, and he wonders whether there is still time for corrections. In the event that there isn't, he makes several suggestions (about which he has also written to M). He says that his next paper for the BNJ, subject to checking a few points, is done, and he promises the final version in a week or two.
