Scope and Content [Sent from Armant excavation, Egypt]. Thanking Dickie for letters; telling her about his and Hilda’s plans to go to Amarna via Kosseir and to walk most of the way; saying he hoped that [Herbert Pendlebury] would be able to come to Greece, and that he and Hilda should be back there by the middle of April [1929]; mentioning that he had heard from Dyson Perrins who he wanted to visit the excavation to try to get funding from him; telling her about work on the excavation, that the camera that Uncle Stanley gave him had been very useful, that the weather was cold and that the post was erratic. Also asking Dickie to pass on a message about [the publication of ‘Aegyptiaca’] and saying he had got letters from Pip [Powell] and Tom [Livingston-] Learmonth].
