Scope and content

Tow letters from Christopher Challis. The first (a), in typescript, is dated 23 October and is accompanied by the attachment (b), 3pp, also in typescript, which CC describes in the letter as an extract from his draft chapter on the coinage of Henry VII. The focus of the extract is on the sovereign groat of Henry and CC's argument that the dies for the coinage were changed in 1489. The second letter (c), in manuscript, is dated 27 October, and focuses on references to a manuscript source from Durham for an indenture of 1495 in earlier works of Lawrence, Sainthill (Olla Podrida) and Brooke that provide no clear citations of the source.
