Scope and content
Two letters from Martin Allen:
(a) typescript, single page, dated 4 July 2000, thanking IS for his note on "Lichfield and Chichester" and suggesting the addition of a few references. He questions the idea that an "English medieval bishop might be a moneyer" and states that the "connection with the farming of the king's dies will not work in this case". He also discusses some intricacies of chronology and mentions an enclosed polaroid, but the photograph is not longer associated with the letter.
(b) typescript, single page, dated 24 July 2000, noting that IS's groat is a die-duplicate of a coin from the L. A. Lawrence collection, from one of only two known obverse dies for the type, but says that he has not been able to match the dies of IS's Durham penny.
