5 items, paper

Three letters from Pierre Mounier and attachments:
(a) letter, typescript, single page, dated from Paris on 22 September 1972, acknowledging receipt of the chapter on British coinage from 1500 to 1815 and noting that he is awaiting the chapter on the money from 1815 onwards as well as the list of illustrations (see below, attachments). He states that the US chapter has now undergone translation. He thanks IS for recommending Howard Linecar as collaborator in the project. There is a marginal manuscript annotation to the effect that IS sent the chapter from 1815 on 23 October 1972 along with a list of illustrations and requests to receive payment in parts on either side of April 1973 and to maintain the English copyright of his contributions.
(b) letter, typescript, two pages on two folios, dated from Paris on 19 October 1972, expressing gratitude for the participant's collaboration and announcing plans for contributors to "Initiation a la Numismatique" to gather together to exchange views, discuss various problems of composition or adaptation, and enable contributors to establish relations. The gathering was scheduled to take place on 14 November 1972 at the Club Française des Médaille, l'Hotêl des Monnaies, 11 quai de Conti, Paris VI, 3rd floor.
(c) letter, typescript, single page, dated from Paris on 8 November 1972, announcing that, due to public transport strikes during the week 13-18 November, it has become necessary to postpone the planned gathering of contributors for one week, thus rescheduling it for 21 November.
(d) attachment one (1), list of illustrations to accompany IS's contributions, manuscript, on three pages of small unused lined paper (recto only), undated, listing English Medieval (incl. Ireland & Scotland), 20 coins; and Modern English, 18 coins. There is a heading for Contemporary English but the list is blank; there is no reference to the United States but there is a separate list, apparently related, in manuscript, single page on small unused white lined paper, describing the same US coins that are listed in attachment two (2).
(e) attachment two (2), list of illustrations to accompany IS's contributions, manuscript, on four pages of larger reused lined paper, listing English Medieval (incl. Ireland & Scotland), 20 coins; British Isles 1500-1815, 18 coins; British Isles since 1815, 20 coins; and United States, 18 coins.
