2 items, paper

Two letters from Patrick Finn to John Brand:
(a) typescript, single page, dated 10 March 1970, advising JDB that he has a hoard of short-cross pennies at Spinks but has not been able to acquire them. He says that the hoard was found in Greece and suggests to JDB that it may be worth his while to have a look at them. "There are no great rarities", he says, but they may be of interest. Pencilled into the letter, centred and outlined just below the letterhead, is the manuscript note "Corinth".
(b) typescript, single page, dated 26 June 1970, advising JDB that he has now acquired the Greek hoard and suggesting that JDB may wish to call in [at Spinks] to see them. On the verso side of the letter, in pen, there is the manuscript note "Hotel Touring, Rue Bouffault".
