Scope and content

Letter from Christopher Challis, in typescript, responding to news that someone named Allen had died; it could not have been Derek Allen, of the British Museum, who died in June 1975. Most of the letter dealt with an article of IS, probably the one on the early coinage of Henry VII for the NC in 1974, and CC's comments on it. CC recommended adding figures for silver production, though his own figures for 1485-6 to 1488-9, which are given in the letter, differ somewhat from those of IS.
