Scope and Content Sent from the British School at Athens. Telling Herbert that his lecture [based on his article ‘Egypt and the Aegean in the Late Bronze Age’] had gone very well, with a copied out letter of praise and encouragement from [Thomas] Peet (part of item). Also thanking Herbert for sending a copy of ‘The Cambridge Review’, saying he had had lots of nice letters [about ‘Aegyptiaca’], telling him that Hilda’s work on Mycenaean pottery was going well and was very useful, that he would start some new work (probably on the Middle Bronze Age), that he hoped [Arthur] Evans wouldn’t start excavating at Komo [Kommos] for 5 years, and that they were leaving for Crete on Friday.
