Item 1970/1 - Two letters from Philip Grierson

2 items, paper

Two letters from Philip Grierson, both in typescript:
(a) dated 3 February 1970, returning a book of [Valentin] Ryabtsevich on coin finds in White Russia, because he had received a copy from [Konstantin] Golenko, and commenting that it is intentionally written at schoolboy level "but seems well done"; in response to a query of IS on Stephen's coins, PG states that only a few of the coins in the plates of BNJ 1966 "seem analogous to Vierschlag" and, for comparison, encloses some good examples, suggesting that IS consult the relevant pages in Luschin von Ebengreuth.
(b) dated 10 May 1970, enclosing an offprint (not attached), thanking IS for his comments on 16th Century Coinage and, prompted by his Ethelred II paper, expressing admiration in his knowledge of minutiae.
