Letter from Mark Blackburn in typescript concerning the reading of a passage in the Dialogus de Scaccario about the acceptability of coins for payments to the Exchequer (pp. 9-10 of the Johnson edition, Oxford 1983) during the reign of Henry I. Attachments include (a) the relevant excerpt from the Dialogus plus (b) a translation from the 1130 Pipe Roll under Gloucestershire (English Historical Documents, vol. II: 1042-1189, pp. 611-614). On the verso of the letter, in manuscript dated from Friday the 7th, there is a lengthy PS, which extends to a following page, in response to the receipt of an IS paper specifically on the 1130 Pipe Roll. The addendum comments upon the paper and some of the particulars of the Pipe Roll.
