Sent from Knossos. Discussing a review by [Thomas] Peet (in the Liverpool Annuals) of ‘Aegyptiaca’, including criticisms of the book. Also updating Herbert on work at Knossos: that the work on the Palace was going well, they had found two more huge Koulouras (wall refuse pits) and a series of MMII polychrome (Kamarais) pottery. Also mentioning: [Humfry] Payne had found “great things” at Perachora (a town besides the temples, and “masses of excellent pottery”); he had received £15 worth of books from Salby [for the Knossos library]; the weather was too cool and rainy to have dinner outside; that Hilda was well but he had a cold; and reminding Herbert to organise cricket for July when John there and asking if there was news of offprints [from the Journal of Egyptian Archaeology, of his article ‘Egypt and the Aegean in the Late Bronze Age’]. |
