Four pages, 12mo, bifolium, good condition. May I ask whether you have very kindly managed to make the numismatic memoranda for me from the 'Num: Chronicle' of 'Num: Jour.' which I asked in my last letter. I mean the examplesof engraved coins bearing crosses, with the vol: and page where they occur? I am rather anxious to get this information, and I thought if you (as I feel sure)) have the books you would kindly make me this note. I have been hoping to hear from you a long time - and we quite looked forward to seeing you about Christmas but I presume you did manage to get away [...] He adds two page on family news, the marriage of a daughter. Note: Jewitt published Handbook of English Coins in 1864.
