Sent from Hawks Club, Cambridge on “day of saints Philip and James”. Sending Herbert reports of the Varsity sports; saying that he would be going to the Pembroke College ball as Vera was coming in David Walker’s party; discussing his studies with Mr Bicknell [in archaeology] and [Arthur] Cook, and books by Walker (‘Monuments of Athens’) and Andrew Lang (‘Homer and the Epic’); mentioning he had received the catalogue of the Acropolis Museum, and asking Herbert to send him a catalogue of the Museum at Sparta and a copy of the names (in hieroglyphics) of four guardians of jars which intestines were kept in (which would probably be in ‘The Mummy’ by Budge) as John wanted them for a photograph of “The Four Coarse Men”. |
