Dear Gardiner,

          Yours of the

22^nd to hand – I have sent the 

“petit renseignement” regarding

the foot-panels of the three couches

to Jéquier – that is as far as I

could they being in semi-packed

condition awaiting carefull^sic

examination. They appear

to bear only the [ 𓂀 ] device

in place of the Bes and Thoueris 

theme found[?] commonly upon

B/<b>bedsteads.

          I have today sent to you

per post a fragment of plaster

                        II

bearing seal impressions from

the famous sealed door for your

son – it is a small fragment

suitable for the post only – other

wise later I will let you

have a better piece.

Trust your sojourn will be

of interest – here it is stoking

up like nothing on Earth and I

fear we shall have to leave the

larger objects until next Autumn.

In regard to the inscription I have

copied all – so will Burton’s photo

records all will be well with the

exception of one small label which

I am[?] bringing home to England with me[?]

Best wishes to you

          Yours
          Howard Carter
