Dr. Howard Carter,

2, Princes Gate Court,

LONDON, S.W.7.

Dear Dr. Carter,

                        In pursuing my enquiries as to the red tone of

the gold on the discs from the covering of Tut-ankh-Amen, 

the Deputy Master of the Melbourne Mint has given me the

information appended herewith – as a result of some of

his experiments.

                        This is a point that indicates the reason of

the red tint on the discs – it also suggests that the red

is inherent and comes to the surface.

                        Will you accept this, my first contribution,

with my compliments. 

                        I hope to send further information later.

                        Kind regards,

                                                 Yours sincerely,

                                                 James R. Ogden

JRO/SER.
