Item 1991/1 - Two letters from Jeffrey North

2 items, paper

Two letters from Jeffrey North:
(a) typescript, single page, dated 16 April 1991, thanking IS for the plate of obverses of his John Baliol sterlings. JJN also notes that he is enclosing a copy of his recent Irish note (not attached) and says that he overlooked an imitation when he sent details of his Naxos coins; this is the SAMUEL ON EANT coin from his "Londe Civits" paper (attached). He says that he has "a reconstruction of the class VIII coins in the hoard with only 17 untraced" and would be happy to send a copy. He concludes by asking whether IS has heard about the round short-cross farthing that has now turned up, stating that "it is very similar to the halfpenny of TERRI and was found at Dunwich". He also adds that IS probably knows about the discovery of the Elis halfpenny, which is now in the Ashmolean.
(b) manuscript, single page, dated 20 October 1991, thanking IS for the offprints of his BNJ papers and the Burns pages and expressing surprise at the close resemblance in the pre-class VIII and Alexander sterlings of Middridge and Montrave.
