Scope and content
Letter from Veronica Smart, in manuscript, three pages on two folios, dated 14 September 1989, responding to queries related to Anglo-Saxon linguistics about the various ways that the name Æthelferth might have been rendered and how the renderings might have changed over time. She then identifies Odeler, prime facie, as a continental name, but considers how an English scribe would have tried to "naturalise" it.
