Item 1987/1 - Two letters from Simon Blunt, the first with attachment

3 items, paper

Two letters from Simon Blunt, the first with attachment:
(a) letter from Simon Blunt, manuscript, single page, dated 3 November 1987, providing cover for the attachment and giving a little background. He says that the attachment is an extract from Christopher Blunt's "book of wishes", something that he prepared when recently in America, and that it encapsulates his views. Simon says that he transcribed a copy from his father's reading, though his father does not know about the transcription, which is attached:
(b) attachment to the above letter, entitled "Extract from Christopher Blunt's book of wishes", typescript, single page, dated 1986, in which CEB acknowledges that his coin collection makes up the bulk of his estate and ruminates on the best way(s) to dispose of the collection.
(c) letter from Simon Blunt, manuscript, a little more than one page on one folio (recto & verso), dated 11 November 1987, conveying his father's appreciation of Ian Stewart's support and his memorandum (see JCPP/Stewartby/1/1/BLUNTC/1987/1(a)) and referring to an enclosure of a document entitled "Acceptance in Lieu", which is no longer associated with the latter. He says that [his wife] Julia is bringing to London three volumes on Scottish coins that CEB wanted IS to have.

The memorandum referred to the letter of 11 November 1987 is presumably an item entitled "Notes from Ian Stewart signed by CEB on 9.11.87", which is catalogued at JCPP/Stewartby/1/1/BLUNTC/1987/1(a)
