| Scope and Content |
Sent from the British School at Athens (BSA). Mainly describing his trip to Phyle [Filí] with [Winifred] Lamb, Bob [Dixon] and [Sylvia] Benton, including treacherous walking to search for the cave of Pan; and exploring the north side of the Acropolis [Athens] with Hilda White (including teasing a guard). Also contains news that he would be excavating at Chalcidice [Chalkidiki] from the beginning of March [with Walter Heurtley]. John discusses his work [in locating finds of Egyptian origin] including that he needed to visit Aegina and Crete, and that there were finds from Pherai [Pherae] in the Museum at Volo [Vólos] but they were unpublished so he couldn’t include them in a catalogue. Additionally mentioning that he may go on a short trip of the Argolid, they had played tennis a lot [at the BSA], and not to worry about parcels not having arrived as it was usual for them to take a long time. |
