Scope and content

Letter from May Sinclair, typescript, single page, dated 7 November 1986, thanking IS for his letter and cheque, and noting that his account has been charged for the next year's [Numismatic] Circular, as requested. She says that neither Patrick [Finn?] nor she knows anything about the blue tag they sent him, so they are returning it "herewith". Of the three sceattas that IS purchased, she says one was from a small dealer based in London, one from a private individual based in London and one from the collection of the late Dr J. Davidson. She notes that Patrick [Finn?] has priced the "Ceonwulf tribach type" at £250 and is holding the coin pending IS's instructions but encloses a photograph. The tokens that IS left with Patrick will appear in the April auction.
