Scope and content
Letter from Stewart Lyon, in typescript, two pages, dated 14 October 1981, with five-page attachment, following up on a recent telephone conversation. The attachment is "a list of Athelstan's two-line moneyers from the table on pp. 62-106 of BNJ XLII", from which SL has "no hesitation in agreeing with [IS] that it is hard to find any evidence for the resumption of the two-line type at southern mints before the end of the reign". Further discussion of the list and what can be gleaned from it follows. SL concludes by noting that he is enclosing a spare copy of the letter and list in the event that IS may wish to share it with Christopher Blunt.
