3 items, paper

Two letters from Hugh Pagan:
(a) typescript, single page, dated 6 May 1991, thanking IS for allowing him to see his remarks on Shillington and expressing a desire to know more about William Allen, who he has determined was a member of the Society of Friends and of the Loriners' Company. He adds some details about Allen's coins of William type I, providing provenances from auctions. He also thanks IS for allowing him to borrow "relevant 10th century cards from CEB's index". In closing, he expresses his belief "that Colin Renfrew who was just made Conservative Life Peer" is the same Renfrew who was "a junior member in BNS lists of the mid 1950s".
(b) typescript, single page, undated, providing brief details of several collectors who were active in the later 19th century: ALLAN, GILLESPIE, THOMSON, WATSON, LINCOLN, JESSOP, WEBSTER. The letter contains no helpful context for narrowing down the date.
