Letter to “Daddy” [Herbert Pendlebury] from John [Pendlebury] [PEN 1/3/1/9/6], Letter to “Daddy” [Herbert Pendlebury] from John [Pendlebury], Undated, [c. 12-16 May 1929]

[Sent from Athens]. Mainly discussing the reasons that he did not want to take up a [Cambridge] University lectureship, details of illustrations and work to be done on [‘Aegyptiaca’] before publication, and a recent trip in Crete (including an itinerary of their travels). John tells Herbert that he was going to apply for a permit to excavate a site on the south coast of Crete (30 miles west of Phaestos [Faistós]) [at Keremés] the following year. John thought the site seemed to be a Mycenaean pirate base and states that [Humfry] Payne was keen that John should apply for the permit. The recent trip in Crete that is described was to go to Eleutherna with [Humfry] Payne, who John states was very nice and they got on well together. The trip [with Hilda and Payne] also included camping outside Margaritaes [Margarítai], Rhetliymo [Réthymnon], Arkadi monastery [Moní Arkadhíou], “Sybrita”, “Asomatos monastery”, Speli [Spili], Preveli monastery, Dibaki [?], Keramai [Keramés] and Knossos. Also telling Herbert: that they would travel to Rhodes on Friday, stay there around a week, and then should be back in the United Kingdom in the first week of June; that he did not want an academic life; that [Arthur] Evans had been worried about them visiting [Kommos] during their trip around Crete but they had been too tired to go anyway; that he was sorry about Peter’s 3rd [third class degree?]; and that he had written to Jock [Lawson?] explaining that he didn’t want to take up the University lectureship.
