Scope and content
Three letters from W. J. W. Potter:
(a) manuscript, one folio (recto & verso), dated 17 January 1967, suggesting that Miss [Marion] Archibald's paper be reinstated and expressing interest in the details of a hoard of Edward IV nobles. WJWP refers back to a die-link that IS discovered – as discussed in an earlier letter of WJWP – and which coin takes chronological precedence in the chain.
(b) manuscript, one folio (recto & verso), dated 12 February 1967, which deals with the position of cinquefoil sovereign in the series and question about its authenticity.
(c) manuscript, single page, dated 26 October 1967, thanking IS for his note on the Richard II half-groat and adding that the only other [coin of this type?] to come to light was reported by Frank Purvey just a few weeks earlier. The obverse of that coin was II/2 while the reverse was a previously unkown type III.
