damp and chilly apothekes. I am, however, very much better but keeping mostly to my room today, as it is rather cold and raw outside. John Wyeth is flourishing and wants to be remembered to you. We are both, of course, very disappointed you are not coming for so long. I am very keen to discuss some problems with you at Apollo, as the excavations are now approaching a stage when your help would be invaluable. I foregive your absence though as I feel it a great complement to me and Pete. It looks very much as though the "Samothrace" would be chartered to a crowd of American school girls in early July at Venice. If we are to have the cruise I think we should leave Cyprus about the first of June, so as to have time for the "Samothrace" to get herself spruced up for the girls, who will return with her to Athens. We both hope very much you are definitely signed up - all twos £6 No. Grunge at last
