Sent fromSir William Matthew Flinders Petrie
1 Apr 1895
Description:
‘My dear Sir,
I am very sorry to hear of your illness, & hope that you will be able to move soon to the Mediterranean for a time. Your friend’s kind will to help our skeleton business is most welcome. Of course I shall be only too glad to accept such an offer no matter when we can get the actual cash. June or July will make no difficulty in the matter.
I have just got the letter from my assistant, left to finish up, & he reports many more good things in our excavations. I expect there will be a very general interest in the new race; and I shall have a good chance to boom[?] them, & our work on them, & the skeletons, at the Brit. Assoc.; as I am fixed to preside over Anthropology there this year. It is one of the best opportunities we could have, & I hope that some good results will be worked out in July & August ready for Sept. 11-17.
I hope to see the boxes over by the end of June.
Yours sincerely,
W.M. Flinders Petrie.’
