Scope and Content Comprises a postcard with an image of the Erechtheion (Acropolis, Athens). Telling Herbert that a typescript had arrived safely, that he [and Hilda Pendlebury] were leaving for Egypt the next day, that the weather was good so it should be a calm sea for their journey to Egypt, Hilda was starting a catalogue of Aegean [archaeological finds] in Egypt, and that [Walter] Heurtley was to arrive back [to Athens] that day. Also discussing plans for Herbert to visit John and Hilda in Egypt or Greece, asking him to send a Swedish-English dictionary to Egypt, saying he already had “Frankfort’s pottery” and telling Herbert to give a gramophone [away?].
