1939

… larger scale before you arrive and I can have the great benefit of your experience.

I am at present working on my inscriptions. I have catalogued all of them; and photographed most with good results. As Mitford displayed great interest in these when he was down here last Summer, I think they should probably be published first. I have sent to Philadelphia for Squeeze paper, as I want to make a complete set of squeezes to take away with me for study elsewhere.

Mr. Gad and his retinue have blown up. He wrote Megaw finally after much delay saying he had other work at this season of the year and so would not be able to come until another year. Megaw suggested we might write Whitamore if he knew of anyone. I think something will have to be done almost immediately whatever the cost may be; it looks as though we'd have to risk the Government's not wanting to help out with a Grant in Aid. I wonder if you knew of anyone we might write; or whether to save time you might write and make any terms you think advisable considering the urgent need.

Peter has arrived and seems very happy in the new establishment. Everything is going smoothly except the weather which has been fierce ever since we arrived. We have just had another three days of rain and Troodos is deep in snow.

Yours as ever,
