G.H.McF.

As I remeber you told me I was to draw a check for all of Pete,s expenses while he was wrking on his article for the A.J.A. his seems fair to me. I told him this was my recollection of my conversation with you. He only wanted ten pounds for the present.

I have written an account of our excavations to date. Pete is writing up the Palace which will be included in my account. It is going to be somewhat longer than what they asked for but it was impossible to condense so much in a very shorted article.

I am now busy trying to get my things segregated in the large Apotheke, and will not be ready to catalogue for probably another week.

I forgot to tell you I had bough a car; a six cylinder open touring Hillmen. I got her second hand and Nikita has pronounced her in excellent condition. I think Pete will serve our purposes very well but I think I may be inclined to forebear giving her the hard usage George used to give his old Chevrolet.

We have had two rains since I arrived and the country is beginning to look fresh again.

As ever, George
