sent directly to K. The invoice for glass will take time.

Mr. Nahman will attend to shipping both lots and will consign them to the Smithsonian Institution.

The heat is intense but seems to do me good and I have really enjoyed every hour of my stay here. I am sorry to leave as the better I know Cairo the more I find here to see and study.

Very sincerely yours
Charles L. Freer
