Thanking Pendlebury for a copy of [‘The Archaeology of Crete’], sharing news of John Ward Perkins being appointed as Professor of Archaeology in Crete and plans to appoint an English Director [of Archaeology] in Cyprus, and inviting Pendlebury to visit him in Woodbridge, Suffolk.
Sent from the British School at Athens (BSA). Giving first impressions of people at the BSA; telling Herbert about plans to go travelling in Thessaly with Bob [Dixon], [Margaret Rodger] and [Hilda] White; about his work [tracking down archaeological finds of Egyptian origin in Greece] including plans to visit Sparta, Gytheion [Yíthion] and Crete in Spring; and saying he had played tennis at the school, felt very fit and the weather was good. John also tells Herbert that his luggage and cigarettes and [photographic] films had not yet arrived, asks him to request specific books as part of a prize [from Pembroke College] and check if there was a guide to the Cyprus collection at the [British Museum], discusses photographs from his travels (he sent the negatives to Herbert), and asks why Turkish people had lighter complexions that Greek people. John gives his impressions of people he had met at the BSA (Davis, [Winifred] Lamb, [Sylvia] Benton, Miss Whitfield, Miss Roger, Miss Turnbull, [Hilda] White); mentions that the Woodwards [Arthur, Director of BSA, and his wife Jocelyn] and [Walter] Heurtley [Assistant Director, BSA] were also there, and that he felt like an imposter as they were all “so obviously learned to the eyebrows”.
Sending [birthday wishes] during a trip to the Argolid (sent from [Náfplio]) with [Sylvia] Benton, [Bob Dixon and Hilda White]. Mainly describing the trip so far (they had been to Mycenae, Midea, Tiryns, Nauplia [Náfplio] and Asine [Asini]), and that John had fallen over twice hurting his knee on the second time too much to carry on the walking tour. John thanks Herbert for “accounts of the relays”; tells him not to worry about [checking if there was a guide to the Cyprus collection at the British Museum]; mentions a letter from [Ellis] Minns about possibly founding a studentship in Egyptology which would include knowledge of language, and that he was thinking about studying language in Summer [to possibly apply for the studentship]; and asks him to tell Dickie [Mabel Dickinson] that she could have a photo and he was the youngest [at the BSA].
Sent from the British School at Athens (BSA). Describing a trip to Mycenae with Hilda [White] during which they stayed at the Belle Hélene guesthouse and spent time with Helen and Spiro [Dassis], from the guesthouse]. On one of the days John, Hilda, Helen and Spiro went to Argos [Árgos]. John describes a dance in the village, and says that at the end of the trip he really thought he knew something about Mycenae and had plans of all the tholos tombs and notes on the tombs and the finds. Also thanking Herbert for sending notes, and asking him to get books about Homer and the Iliad; telling him that he hadn’t managed to meet Arvanitopoulos [the curator at Vólos museum] as planned, that he had returned to Athens on Friday afternoon and would go to Crete the next Friday, that they would go to the Acropolis that evening if it was clear to see the full moon, and that [Richard] Dawkins [former Director of BSA] had arrived and Bob [Dixon] was going to Cyprus and possibly [Mount] Athos with Dawkins. Additionally asking Herbert to tell Dickie that he had turned into a “tea fiend”.
