Monday, 30. IX. 61. Hot, 20° obE shade. — Check work done and note some negligences to be corrected by Lagarce, Tamissier and Courtois. — Decide to stop excavations tomorrow, national holiday (liberation), in order to put up to date excavation notebooks, inventory and classify material already accumulated. Photos of the offerings in the sanctuaries of the Iron. Give information to Johnstone. Not satisfied with the present organisation. But difficult to improve with the staff still available, weakened by the absence of Kuss. — Remedy various details. Narrowness of the Camp also adds to fatigue after excavations. I have studied the possibility of building enlargements and I have requested the credits. But I am thinking of handing over responsibility still more to Courtois and to Kuss if he returns and of retaining only dir. general with Credits, publications, epigraphy weights, figurative bronzes, cylinders.
