| Scope and Content |
Sent from the British School at Athens. Telling Herbert that he had been offered the Curatorship of Knossos via a confidential unsigned telegram, and that he had heard from [Humfry] Payne that [Arthur] Evans was happy with him excavating at Keramai [Keramés]. Also about plans to travel back to the United Kingdom via Naples to give information to [Amedeo] Mauiri and hopefully get his agreement for referring to items [in ‘Aegyptiaca’], and then to London, Malvern, Caldy and Cambridge. Additionally telling Herbert: that a manuscript [that he had asked Herbert to send of ‘Aegyptiaca’] had arrived; that he had written to Jock [Lawson?] and said he was “only too willing to pull my weight but except for the long I couldn’t be of any use at all”; and that Rhodes was “delightful”. |
