12,th March 1958. Dear M. Megaw, This is the worst beginning of year what concernes my work. I am struggling to keep afloat with the most urgent, but there were so many meetings, commissions in addition to the Coll. de Fr. and the already enormous correspondance that I am still not yet over the heap which has accumulated during my absence. I have decided to relinquish one or two positions to get more time for my own research work here. But that cannot be immediately. I hope therefore you will excuse me for answering so late your letters for which I thank you and of which some items have been given answer in my letter of Jan. 26 th. I now return to what was not yet discussed. Thank you for the Guide to the Enk. Site which you intend to have completed & printed. Perhaps a few pictures: horned god, Silverbowl et could be added from existing blocks. In any case to make the size of the new guide to fit a pocket would be advisable. — I have few additions to propose, but feel a selected bibliogr. would, p h. be useful.
