| Scope and Content |
Sending [birthday wishes] during a trip to the Argolid (sent from [Náfplio]) with [Sylvia] Benton, [Bob Dixon and Hilda White]. Mainly describing the trip so far (they had been to Mycenae, Midea, Tiryns, Nauplia [Náfplio] and Asine [Asini]), and that John had fallen over twice hurting his knee on the second time too much to carry on the walking tour. John thanks Herbert for “accounts of the relays”; tells him not to worry about [checking if there was a guide to the Cyprus collection at the British Museum]; mentions a letter from [Ellis] Minns about possibly founding a studentship in Egyptology which would include knowledge of language, and that he was thinking about studying language in Summer [to possibly apply for the studentship]; and asks him to tell Dickie [Mabel Dickinson] that she could have a photo and he was the youngest [at the BSA]. |
