Nov. 6, 1978Dear Roger,

Many thanks for the contact prints of George's basilica (etc) photographs. Now for the enlargements. I would like them all to be quarter-plate size for my reference file: the full frame without masking, on paper not exceeding 10.2 by 13 cms. Later, when preparing plates for publication, I might ask for some of them in different format. In the following list I have included a few scenic shots which may also be useful, but none of those of which I collected duplicate enlargements during my recent visit.

Roll 2 ( the strips with 32-39 are from George's film VI; that with shots 9-13 of the mosaic floors first seen on May 8, 1935, are probably from a later part of the same film unrecorded in his notebook) 33,34,35,36

Roll 3-A (Georges's film III) 12,14,16,24,26,27,39,40,41,42,43

Roll 5-A (George's film V) 1,6,9,11,13,14,15,17,18, 20 21,22,23,24

Roll 6 (George's film II) 10,11,12,13,14,16,17,18,19,20,21,[41,42,43,44,45] [circled]

Stamp: Tabelly / Pinned handwritten above

Roll 7 (George's film VII) 2,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31,33

Roll 8 (George's film VIII) 11,13,14,17,18,19,24

It is really very satisfactory that you have located all George's 1935 listed basilica films, except IV. I think he took very few of the initial Trench I in 1934; I have contact prints of Film II #1&2 of that year, dated May 31, and only one other is recorded in his notebook (p.22), taken the previous day and the last on a film (there unnumbered).

I trust I am not being too demanding.

Best greetings, in which Elektra joins,
