Letter from Ian Stewart to Hugh Pagan with reply from Hugh Pagan:
(a) letter from Ian Stewart to Hugh Pagan, in manuscript, single page, dated 29 April 1983, providing cover for the first draft of IS's Offa paper, asking for comments and advising that he is also intends to show the draft to Stewart [Lyon], Michael M[etcalf] and Christopher [Blunt]. He acknowledges that it still needs a lot of work and asks for the return of the manuscript unmarked with any observations on a separate sheet but invites HEP to make a photocopy.
(b) letter from Hugh Pagan to Ian Stewart, in typescript, single page, dated 6 May 1983, agreeing with IS's approach towards the heavy coins of Offa while expressing reservations about his ideas on the lightweight coins, though without and specific counter-proposal. He thinks it unlikely that the moneyer Dun was the same Dunn referred to in 855, discounts the possible reading of the moneyer's name "Tirwald" as "Waldtir" and discusses how moneyers might have wound up using other moneyers' dies. He also suggests that IS consider the possibility that the Canterbury die-engraver supplied dies to London rather than vice versa and discusses the Cynethryth coins.
