Dear Whittalls,
I am currently engaged in researching an ancient coin that was once in the possession of James Whittall of Smyrna. I have a reference to some kind of catalogue or inventory of James Whittall’s collection (Catal.Whitall no.991). I am trying to establish whether the catalogue still exists and if so what it has to say about the coin. I am most interested in the circumstances of the coins acquisition by James Whittall – particularly any details that might be recorded about the location in which the coin was discovered. I would be most grateful for any assistance you could offer in this matter.
