Parrot has received a note from the Prof. Pritchard asking him whether France still intends to excavate at 'Ay. I hardly see the means of doing so at present. And you? I did not ask you whether you had returned to Michel-Dansac the academic file of Virolleaud. Take good care to protect yourself, on your long journey, against sudden changes of temperature, and against sunstroke. Respectful regards to you, dear friend, and Affectionately yours R. Dussaud
