Scope and content

Letter from Douglas Saville to Simon Blunt, typescript, single page, dated 15 June 2012, thanking SWB for inviting him to look through the numismatic books of Christopher Blunt. He offers £18,000 for all the numismatic books in the "main library", amounting to "probably rather less than 20% of what is currently of the shelves there", plus a few others stored elsewhere. If the offer is acceptable, he proposes to pack and collect the books at a mutually agreed time and to deliver payment by cheque at that time, adding that he will be happy to augment the offer if he were to find anything of particular significance that had thus far escaped his notice.
