Dear Howard Carter

 

Last year you asked

me to remind you this year about the

three pictures I have of yours, hence 

this letter.

Have you noticed the small gold sequin

with the rose-pink colour made by 

Professor R.W. Wood of The Johns Hopkins

University, America that is in the case

with the other beads and sequins nearly

opposite the door of the jewellery room in

the Tut-Ankh-Amen gallery? It is a 

perfect match of the old work.

                        Yours sincerely

                                    A Lucas
