Sent from the British School at Athens. Telling Herbert they had stayed in Athens and not travelled to Andros [Ándros] as planned because of bad weather, that Mrs Payne [Dilys Powell] was giving a lecture to the Anglo Hellenic League on Modern English Literature, and he had been teaching Hilda, [Nicholas] Hammond and Wason to fence. Thanking Herbert for sending books and asking if he had read one of them by Spearing; saying he’d received a copy of ‘Aegyptiaca’ but had not yet got a packet of prospectuses [of ‘Aegyptiaca’] and a cutting from a journal about Egypt; and mentioning an earthquake in Crete that he had been “wiring frantically” about to reassure [Arthur] Evans. |
