November 5, 1938Dear George:-

Pursuant to your cable we have sent a draft to you for $1,000. on account of the 1938-39 Kourium Expedition. This is two hundred dollars less than the $2000. Sharpe Fund Income appropriated for this purpose, because I paid Mr. Daniel directly $200. on account of his compensation for the season, since he was somewhat pressed for funds in establishing himself for studying at the University. He understands that this is to be deducted from what you might pay later, and I felt you would approve assisting him in this manner.

London photographer reached you safely. I trust the information regarding the

Daniel is much excited - and rightly so - by his discovery of the purport of the inscriptions, and the fact that they are in Greek, on the storage jars. It seems indeed to be an elucidation of great importance.

Keep us posted from time to time as to your activities; even though they may seem unexciting to you, for to us at home anything bearing on the work is of interest.

Always sincerely

Horace H. F. Jayne Director
