Item 1982/1 - Two letters from John Brand

2 items, paper

Two letters from John Brand on British Numismatic Society letterhead:
(a) manuscript, single page, dated 22 May 1982, enclosing photocopies of page proofs of Ian Stewart's article in BNJ 51 with seemingly necessary amendments marked. He asks IS to make any other necessary corrections and return one copy to him.
(b) typescript, single page, dated 24 June 1982, enclosing proofs if pages from Ian Stewart's article on which alterations have been made and advising that two pages have been completely retyped. He refers to the new format [for the BNJ], noting that reactions have "varied completely from 'I prefer it' right through to 'I am dismayed by the new format', which probably means that we have got it about right". He also expresses regret that IS was unable to attend the last BNS meeting, which was marked by debate on Liz Pirie's theories.
