P.S. Would you have any objection to my coming to your area on Wednesday afternoon with my colleague, the History teacher, and some twenty of our pupils belonging to the "top classes". The visit to the excavations would interest them greatly, I am certain of it. Unless you advise otherwise and unless something unforeseen occurs, I believe our visit is almost certain.
