5 items, 3 paper and 2 plaster

Two letters from Derek Chick, both in manuscript. The first, dated 10 July 1995 (a), first mentions a recent find of a new circumscription/tribrach penny of Eadberht Praen [of Kent], found in 1993 at Fordwich on the same site as an earlier find of a Coenwulf transitional coin; casts of the new coin are enclosed. There follows more detailed discussion of the recent find as well as general discussion about "the great volume of new finds of the the last two decades". The letter concludes with a discussion of the B42 series of Alhmund of Derby; a list of examples, annotated by IS, is attached. The second letter, dated 22 July 1995, thanks IS for his reply to the earlier letter and further discussion of points touched upon in the letter,
