Scope and Content

Bell enquires if Mackay & Chisholm have any "Scotch Silver Coins of Mary, during her marriage with Francis", and any trademen's tokens of 1648-1672 "issued in any town in Northumberland, Durham, or North of York". Mackay & Chisholm will forward impressions of tokens sent to them by collectors; send "festoon of Francis & Mary". Bell thanks Mackay & Chisholm for their help; requests a Scottish copper coin for one of his sons.
