1907-12-21 Emma B Andrews Volume 15

Saturday, Dec. 21. I was at home all day. Theo and Carrie went to the Valley to look at the pit tomb Ayrton wrote about. They opened it - it proved only a pit with large vases - some sealed - some more or less broken. They report our little house finished, but too damp to live in at present - though Ayrton is living in one room. The Miriam, with tug Thothmes got in about 5 P.M. I received a note from Madame Maspero. They leave early tomorrow morning - bound for Aswân, and Halfa. One of the most wonderful moon rises this evening.
