| Scope and Content |
Sent from the British School at Athens (BSA). Apologising for putting the wrong address on a letter, and explaining that some of his letters must have been lost as he had written that he had he had enjoyed architecture books and his monocles had arrived [which Herbert had subsequently asked about]. Also mentioning that he had joined the Constantinople Athletic Club (which had been announced in a newspaper before he knew about the club); that it was very cold so they had cancelled a trip to Eleusis [Elefsína] that day; that they were starting the continued tour on the Argolid on Thursday; how he intended the structure his [catalogue of Egyptian finds in Greece] and that it couldn’t progress further until he went to Crete; and that [photographic] films were the only thing that hadn’t arrived yet [which he had sent from the United Kingdom]. John labelled the letter as written on “Tuesday”, and it is annotated by [a later hand] as 3 Jan 1928. |
