Letter transcription:
"My dear Sir,
Thanks for your subscription. I hope soon to send you the new volumes on the XIIth Dynasty at Abydos. My own "Royal Tombs" II is in the press and I hope to have it out by 1 July. All the photographs in it can be ordered by quoting plate and number, exactly as last year. If I knew when your date of lecture was I would send you the coloured slides of the jewellery on loan. They are irreplaceable now as the negatives have been lost, though sent by registered post. So we shall have to reproduce from some prints.
Yours very sincerely,
Wlm. F. Petrie."
