Letter from Harry Manville, in typescript, dated 9 February 2006, in which he begins by mentioning that he has completed the first draft of 170 seventeenth-century biographies. He then agrees to the exchange that he has been discussing with IS and states that he will arrive in London in time to attend the Spink auction on 29 March. If he cannot turn the coins over to IS then, he will leave them with Douglas Saville, to whom HM is sending a copy of the correspondence. HM provides a rough summary of his planned movements in Britain and Ireland before returning home on the 11th [of April], discusses his listing of the merk series, and notes that his pleasure to learn that IS is planning a Sylloge volume of his collection.
