Season 1928-1929

Oct. 29^th

Continued this week, examining, repairing & recording a number

of miscellaneous objects found in boxes 367 and 565.

Had news of Lucas saying that he was progressing well.

Expect Burton to arrive towards the end of this week.

Nov. 5^th.

Work progressing slowly - some nice specimens of tapestry -

woven textiles turned up, Though in bad condition they

show quite interesting details especially Re needle-work.

Burton arrived.

"  6^th

Burton began his photographic records.

"  9.

Which progressed well, but unfortunately he fell ill

today. He having contracted in Cairo 'dengue-fever'

which suddenly became evident this evening.

"  15.

Burton progressing as well as possible - a relapse

today which means the end of the fever. He won't

be fit for ten days however.

Just heard that Lucas has recovered and out of

hospital. He wants to come back on the 23^rd Nov.

I don't think that very wise.

Having a lot of trouble from stupidity on the part

of the Reises & men. It seems that they get more

stupid as they get older - and slacker having been,

perhaps too long with me.

"  24.

Work progressing the box (370) containing all kinds of weapons takes

entails at a lot of work & recording.

Burton sufficiently strong to return to work today.

Eumorfopolous^sic {Eumorfopoulos} came to Valley and afterwards to lunch - we went

over various monuments together.

Dec. 4.

Lucas returned from Cairo this morning. I had hoped to go

to Cairo for a few days - the end of Nov. but what with Burton

being able to return I did not feel justified in delaying the work

more than possible so decided to put off going to Cairo later in Dec.
