Scope and Content Sent from the Oxford and Cambridge Club, London. Thanking Herbert for a letter, and saying he would go to [Malvern] on Friday evening; telling Herbert that he had heard from [Hans] Frankfort who was keen that Hilda should go to Egypt with John, about his and Hilda’s plans to go straight to Komó [Kommos] instead of to Mycenae, about frustrations with getting material for [‘Aegyptiaca’], and that [Winifred] Lamb had been to dinner with John, Hilda and the Seltman’s and they had helped her with classifying Cretan pottery in the Fitzwilliam [Museum, Cambridge]. Also mentioning that he was about to go to a feast, and that [a holiday in] Swanage would be excellent.
