Letter from Hugh Pagan, with three attachments:
(a) letter from HEP, in typescript, single page, dated 14 July 1991, congratulating IS on his [forthcoming?] knighthood but focusing on relations between the Scottish collectors Burns and Cochran-Patrick. In a concluding sentence, HEP says that Macfayden was not F. G. Macfayden but F(rank) E(dward) Macfayden, a Newcastle stockbroker, "just for the record".
(b) brief note, typescript, single page, undated and without authorial byline but written by IS in following up on HEP's earlier letter of May 1991. The note states that Mr Pagan has advised that many of "Allen's coins can be traced back to a Glendining sale on 22 Jan. 1925 [that] contained a rich collection of Anglo-Saxon and Norman coins, [described as] the 'Property of a Gentleman', but known to have belonged to Frank Edward Macfayden, a Newcastle Stockbroker, ...", and he further discusses the pedigree in relation to several other coins. The note appears as a paragraph in Ian Stewart's article on the Shillington hoard in the Numismatic Chronicle (see below).
(c) offprint: Ian Stewart, 'Coins of William II from the Shillington hoard', Numismatic Chronicle (1992), pp. 111-132.
