Scope and content
Letter, in typescript, subscribed (in manuscript) by Michael Dolley, Stewart Lyon and Peter Sawyer, and addressed from Peter Sawyer's residence in Warwick, recommending the formation of an informal research group to meet three or four times a year to discuss "problems posed by the numismatic evidence for Late Anglo-Saxon England". The group would include, in the first instance, and presumably in addition to the undersigned, Christopher Blunt, Nicholas Brooks, Philip Grierson, Henry Loyn, Gay van der Meer, Veronica Smart and Ian Stewart. The inaugural meeting was proposed for 11 May at Cheltenham during the National Numismatic Congress.
