Asking Herbert to send anything in ‘The Cambridge Ancient History’ about scarabs in tomb 526 at Mycenae, and anything he could find about a scarab found at Thebes which was now in [the British Museum]. Also telling Herbert about having his first go “out on the track” [high jump at the Constantinople Athletic Club], playing hockey, that [photographic] films had finally arrived [from the United Kingdom], and asking him about a matter in a letter from Herbert (whether there was a connection between Ruth [?] showing CT [?] John’s letters and CT being upset).
