5 items, 1 paper and 4 photographic

Letter from Kenaz Tasker, in manuscript, two pages on two small folios, dated from Prestwich (Manchester) on 12 September 1974 (i.e. "12-9-74", but NB that KT has dated another of his letters to IS with the month preceding the day, i.e. March 8th 1975; for the letter of 1975, see JCPP/Stewartby/1/1/TASKER/1975/1), with four attachments. In the letter, KT thanks IS for his letter and suggests that there are at least four coins [from the Prestwich hoard?] of Stewart type IV (David) that may interest him as well as one North-Eastern irregular and a Stephen. KT notes that "the British Museum retained quite a good selection of Davids". The four attachments consist in images of the obverse and reverse of two coins:
(a) coin 1 of David I of Scotland (?), obv.
(b) coin 1 of David I of Scotland (?), rev.
(c) coin 2 of David I of Scotland (?), obv.
(d) coin 2 of David I of Scotland (?), rev.
(e) Sales catalogue of the Prestwich hoard of silver pennies, Last of the Norman kings: Henry I, David I of Scotland, Stephen. On the inside back cover, the catalogue carries full address and telephone number, in manuscript, of Mr Kenaz Tasker, Silver Penny Lodge, Prestwich, Manchester.

Lord Stewartby's papers relating to Scottish numismatics are with his collection of Scottish coins at the Hunterian Museum in Glasgow (https://www.gla.ac.uk/hunterian/about/news/headline_516984_en.html)
