4 items, paper

Two letters from Robin Eaglen, in manuscript, both with attachments. In the first, dated 11 January 1992 (a), RE thanks IS for his letter of 2 January and preparations for the publication of his thesis. He then relates his experience in working up a paper that he delivered at a conference on 13th-century England in Newcastle, contrasting the prompt response that he receives in his communications with IS against the more responses that he receives from academics. The attachment, in typescript, is appears to be made up of related excerpts from RE's thesis (pp. 231-234, 237, 255-256) dealing with coins from Bury struck under the moneyers Willelm, Norman, Simund and Ioan. In the second letter, dated 4 February 1992 (b), RE thanks for his correspondence on "Norman/Simund" and responds to particular points. The attachment is a draft paper on "The mint of Bury St Edmunds in the 1220s" focusing on the moneyer Norman, in two copies, unattributed, but with a note of acknowledgment to Robin Eaglen for his comments on the notes.
