Scope and Content [Sent from Armant excavation, Egypt]. Mainly giving detailed descriptions other people at the excavation: [Hans and Jettie] Frankfort, [Brian and Molly] Emery, [Alan] Shorter, and [Stephen] Glanville. Also telling Herbert that they had nearly finished work on the excavation and were clearing up; that the dig had been “sensational” and he hoped news about it had been in the Telegraph newspaper; that he had heard from Pip [Powell] who “seems to have enjoyed himself – though to have behaved badly”, and that he hoped a law case went well for Herbert.
