Scope and content
Two letters from Edgar Winstanley:
(a) manuscript, one folio (recto & verso), dated 18 October 1954, dealing first with Richard III groats and then thanking IS for taking an interest in his recent Henry VII paper before moving on to a discussion of particular specimens and finally referring to the classification of Edward I-II pennies.
(b) manuscript, one folio (recto & verso), dated Wednesday 27 October 1954, thanking IS for his letter and saying that his suggestion about an alleged forgery of a groat is worth following up. EJW is interested to see that IS is doing his National Service in the Navy, remarking that his time during 1914 war was a happy and comparatively carefree period.
