Scope and content

Letter from Michael Dolley, in typescript, one folio (recto & verso), dated 16 June 1968, thanking IS for his letter and enclosures, expressing his pleasure that IS is corresponding with Barrow [?] about ETER, but venting his anger at having been left out of the loop about important decisions affecting the BNJ. He says that he is supporting the Albert Baldwin volume and is planning a paper with Bill Seaby on "The 'Irish' imitative pieces in the Brussels hoard", which he thinks "will startle the numismatic world". It examines "a heavily die-linked series of coins with 'Irish' obverses and 'English' reverses, and vice versa", noting that "the die-link chains admirably illustrate the theme of mints and dies". He states that he has a paper on Anglo-Irish monetary policies c.1150-c.1650, which he read the year before at a history congress, that is now with the printer. He also refers to the possibility of doing a paper on Edward the Confessor and notes that "penning an acid exposure of a certain Mr Graham Jones whose fantasies concerning A-S Worcester have gone just a little too far" has helped to ease his fatigue and depression.
