P.S. Would you have any objection to my coming to your area on Wednesday afternoon with my colleague, a History professor, 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 barring the unforeseen, I believe our visit is almost certain.
