My dear Carter,

 

          A thousand thanks for the 

Third Volume of your entrancing history

of the tomb and its contents. I have

only had as yet time to dip into some

of the chapters which especially appeal

to me. I need hardly say that I find

them of extreme interest especially

where you treat of iron and the very

small quantity of it which has been

found. One mystery about it is how it

could have been worked into such

objects as found. Anyhow it disposes of
