TAA i.2.4.59

                                                Rough diary Continued.

Season 1929-30.

No work was done during this season. Negotiations with the Eg.

Gov. with regard to some favourable settlement for the Carnarvon

Estate and heirs for work rendered, also with regard to

favourable conditions for the completion of the remaining work

to be done on behalf of the Eg. Gov., took the greater part of

the Season - See conditions of concession agreed to with

the Eg. Gov. during Spring, 1930.

It was not until late in Sept (1930) that the Eg. Gov. saw its

way to pay over to the Carnarvon heirs the sum of 35971£E

covering the Carnarvon expenses for work rendered commencing

from the discovery to the completion of their part of the work in April

1929. The question of recompense for the Met. Mus. Art of N.Y.

for the assistance at their own sacrifice a/<g>iven during the whole

of the operations has yet to be considered by the Eg. Gov. they

taking over the responsibility from us.
