Letter from Michael Dolley, typescript, dated 9 August 1966, acknowledging receipt of card from IS, which arrived while he was in Stockholm with Stewart [Lyon]. MD expresses his pleasure that IS will be reviewing Stevenson, stresses the importance of taking the Sylloge series seriously, and thanks IS for his invitation to read to the British [Numismatic Society] the following year. He selects as his topic "The Coinage of Sihtric III Silkenbeard". He also remarks on one of the salient outcomes of the Stockholm trip, i.e. that the second hand type was more substantial and that the issue of BMC type VI of Eadgar lasted for more than a few months. In closing, he acknowledges the receipt Mrs Buchan's wedding invitation but fears that he will need to decline due to his academic duties.
