Telling Hilda that the Squire [R W Hutchinson] and Miss Benton had arrived (the Squire looking unwell) and had been to Toplou and Krista; Eleutheria was cooking very well; everything was quiet apart from “the usual casual rows”; they had 2 Albanian criminals (that had escaped during the Italian invasion, the police had “wished” onto them) and a sheep stealer from Arogeia working on the excavation; Petrou was visiting the excavation and John hoped for a visit from Lord Lloyd; John had gone to a dance evening of a the Youth Movement which started very late; that it was predicted that there would be earthquakes and volcanoes would erupt on the 16th; and comments on the village of Kera (Crete). John also asked Hilda tell Alan [?] that [Hugh] Last would like to go to Mycenae, and for her to send him a list of recipients for offprints of an article on Trapeza [‘Excavations in the Plain of Lasithi.
