Dear [illegible]haeffer,
The news of the bowl which you give in your letter of 9th July is truly astonishing. If this delay could have been foreseen, it would clearly have been better to run the alight risks involved in despatching the bowl by post. I hope its condition has not seriously deteriorated during its long sojourn in the British Embassy.
I wrote to you on 2nd July a letter which by now you will I hope have received.
I am visiting Dhali again to-morrow. I am told there are interesting things to see at the north wall, and in our other area (adjoining the "temple" on the west) excavation to the lower floors continues without spectacular results.
Yours sincerely,
