Scope and content
Letter, with annotations, in reference to Lord Stewartby's "1279-1343 chapter", with specific comments and suggestions on the chapter attached and also annotated. In the letter, Martin Allen praises the classification for classes 15d3, 15e and 16, while recommending citation of the [Paul] Withers classification of class 10 in recognition of its value as an aid to identification. MA also suggests the use of Arabic numerals, following the North Sylloge, to enhance the clarity of notation, and he further recommends revision of all mint output figures, using those of Challis in his New History of the Royal Mint with MA's amendments.
