March 27, 1947Dear Mr. McFadden:

As I predicted, the Board of Managers approved the grant of an additional thousand dollars to be used for the Neolithic dig. Do you want this deposited or shall we hold it until you definitely decide to go ahead? I explained you needed the promise of it for bargaining purposes and were not necessarily starting immediately with the excavations, but should you decide to begin at once, I shall attend to having the check put through.

I am looking forward to hearing from you soon and hope that all goes well.

Forgive this short note.

Very sincerely,
