Telling Herbert that he and Hilda had arrived in Cairo; [Stephen] Glanville and [Alan] Shorter had taken them to see the Pyramids by moonlight; they had seen artefacts from the Tutankhamen tomb in the Cairo museum which were “too wonderful for description” and that the rest of the museum was badly organised; [Stephen] Glanville had gone to Armaneh [Amarna] to do some “private scratching under the stelae”; and both Shorter and Hilda were ill, Shorter with Dengue fever and Hilda with malaria. Also mentioning that he had met [Hans and Jettie] Frankfort the previous day, and that they hadn’t had a chance yet to see Kathleen [Hargreaves, John’s cousin]. |
