Dear Deke:-

Very many thanks for the photostat of the Curium article which I am very glad to have.

I enclose two photos of the aqueduct. You will notice the massive foundation wall adjacent to the cistern on the northeast side in photo 1. Photo 2 shows the newly excavated cistern (also showing in photo 1) with three marble steps over which the water cascaded as it issued forth from the interior of the aqueduct.

Yours as ever,

GHMcF/cp
