Sent from Amarna, Egypt. Thanking Herbert for a telegram and saying he was looking forward to seeing a letter from Macmillan; telling Herbert about progress at the excavation, that they had found the house of a master painter and when they had finished excavating a block of houses he and Hilda might be sent to look for the tomb of Smenkara, whilst others would go to the Great Temple site to “try and rescue some architectural details from the mess which Howard Carter made”; telling Herbert about their accommodation at the excavation; and discussing that he might have a chance of [working at the British School at Athens] if [Walter] Heurtley resigned (which he thought might happen as Heurtley and Humfry Payne, who had just been appointed as Director, did not get on). Annotated in a later hand as “18th Feb”. |
