Colonial Newsletter Foundation. THE COLONIAL NEWSLETTER. Vol. 2, No. 2 (Serial No. 3). Wayland, Massachusetts: Al Hoch, editor, April 1961. Small 8vo, self-covered as issued. (8) pages; 1 plate. Some annotations and underlining; very good. A rare original issue of this groundbreaking publication. Only the third issue of the series. The initial recipients of the CNL were few in number and the first issues were printed by Al Hoch (of later Quarterman fame) in a small 8 by 5.5 inch format featuring high-quality plates. These were reprinted in the 1970s in the larger format (with an introduction serving as No. 8), which is the form most frequently encountered. This issue includes a report by Ned Barnsley on the updating of Miller for Connecticut copper, George Fuld and Eric P. Newman reporting on the 1796 Washington President piece, Bob Vlack writing on the Muttonheads, W. Philip Keller on Massachusetts coppers, Al Hoch on a new Fugio variety, etc.
