Scope and Content Sent from Knossos. Discussing plans to travel back from Knossos via Athens to see [Humfry] Payne’s finds from Perachora, and arrive [in the United Kingdom] on the 20th of July, and asking to if they [John and Hilda] could go to Malvern on the 23rd [of July] because John wanted to visit [F P] David during his last term at Winchester [College]. Also discussing an article about Knossos in The Times, the weather at Knossos, and that he was glad [Arthur] Evans had left so they could finish the work without interruptions. Additionally mentioning that Hans [Frankfort] had congratulated him on the style of his article ([on ‘Egypt and the Aegean in the Late Bronze Age’] which he had just received the offprints for) and “the jocular kicks on the bottom I gave Wainwright”, and that he was sorry about Robin [Mabel Dickinson’s son].
