Scope and content
Letter from Michael Dolley, in typescript, focusing mainly on a draft review that IS has prepared on work by [Peter] Sawyer and shared with RHMD. The crux was a "sudden shift in pattern about 895", about which RHMD shared IS's anxiety over Sawyer's interpretation. RHMD believed that it stemmed from a new discovery of silver "in the are of Samarkand" in Central Asia around 900.
