There is also reference to a possible exchange of coins.
(b) manuscript, single page, from Hertford College, Oxford, thanking IS for the comments on his paper. The rest of the letter is turned over to finalising an agreement about an exchange of coins.

Note
The letters are completely undated, but the first refers to an invitation from Barrie Cook to view the Lincolnshire hoard, which must have come before July [1993] when he refers to the invitation and coroner's inquest (JCPP/Stewartby/1/1/MASS/1993/2)
