My conception of the Bamboula Volume would be somewhat as follows: an intro. and Architecture by me, a second part on the tombs: a third on the finds and the dating of strata - these by one or two persons; I could write the general conclusions and would be willing to act as editor if you should take along all the photos of tombs and objects of them. The tombs at Curium. The least for study. Original photographs: many of the objects will have to be re-done for final publication. I believe the Architecture I now have all of the necessary photos from the originals and drawings for the tombs are pretty well as well as sun-prints here, as well as a set of Curium. I did not bring notebooks [handwritten: ✓] and sun-prints at Nicosia and Curium. I do not bring what I was doing: I believe they have the Kaloriziki cemetery in them. You'll find them at Curium House.

My own brains also splattered against gory wall - I have not been able to coöjur up a name for your teaching job. A one-term job is most difficult and even have not been able to coöjur up a name for your teaching job. A one-term job is most difficult and even usually sends one looking at the rolls of emeriti, but even there I find nothing. Good luck, and will be interested in hearing of your solution.

Happy getting ready and a good trip. May be will see you in Athens on your way back. I'll be most interested in hearing of the progress of the program as it develops and will try not to be too tardy in carrying out my commitments. I'm another one of those crowded out despite my concern and the oldest ones often I get get crowded out of the way. Science. But as soon as I be during this summer, I turn to my Corinth volume on these three basilicas and the Bamboula stuff. I want to get these out of the way before starting off for the sabbatical year; then I'll have only my pre-historic volume, which will be the main job for the Greek trip.

All the best from all three of us - Athens, Piraeus and Corinth!

Yours.
