| Scope and Content |
Thanking Hilda for a letter and enclosures, expressing pleasure that David is better, and updating Hilda on his activities: looking at Perakhora scarabs in a museum and plans for Mercy [Money-Coutts] to photograph and draw sides of the scarabs; plans to go to Mycenae, Kalamata [Kalámai], Pylos [Pílos] then Crete; and that he had managed to get £25 more from the school [British School at Athens, for excavations in Crete]. The letter also includes: details of how John was dealing with enclosures that Hilda had sent him (sending letters and asking Hilda to forward money to Stokes and a note saying he would “join them at Colwell on August 15th”); news that the British School was quite empty (just John, Vincent [Desborough], Vronwy Fisher and Austen), that [Edith] Eccles was getting better after having her appendix out, and that Mrs Swindler sent her regards. |
