3 items, paper

Three letters from Konstantin Golenko concerning the exchange of numismatic literature. In the first letter, dated 21 July 1962, in Russian Cyrillic typescript, KG acknowledges receipt of IS's letter and states that he is happy to fulfill the request of IS, sending him and his colleagues at Oxford copies of his article from [the journal?] Viz. Vremennik, [vol.] XVI. He further suggests that obtaining a copy of a book by Retovsky will be more complicated but says that he will search for a second-hand copy. The letter is roughly annotated with partial translations. In the second letter, dated 7 June 1968 (b), in English manuscript, KG thanks IS for his letter and states that he is sending the book in which IS is interested. KG also promises to send a book of Dr Potin on coin finds in Russia and asks for several titles on Ancient coinage as well as issues of Museum Notes. In the third letter, dated 23 August 1968 (c), in English typescript with the stamped envelope in which was delivered attached, KG thanks IS for his letter and mentions the receipt of a letter from Mr [George Carpenter] Miles, which notes, in accordance with the wishes of Mr [Philip] Grierson, that eight numbers of Museum Notes had been sent to him. KG further states that he is writing contemporaneously to Mr Grierson and Mr Miles.
