Addressed 'Athens', dated 25 December 1935. They have arrived at Athens from Cyprus via Rhodes. Stewart does not warm to Athens nor finds the British School (BSA) to offer congenial company. He continues his discussion of Cypriot Neolithic wares and his conviction that those thus identified by Dikaios are actually Chalcolithic. At the BSA Christmas dinner he met Dr Berta Segal, working on jewellery at the Benaki Museum, who showed him a gold cup found on Euboea which had been bought by A. Benakis. Stewart includes a brief sketch of the object. He believes Dr Segal's therories about the cup to be erroneous. He thinks the cup is a fake and provides extensive reasoning for this conclusion.
Regarding the Jerusalem job, he has changed his mind and will apply for it and requests a testamonial from AJBW. br/> In a post script, he says that Eleanor reminds him that they have just bought 'some quite amusing embroideries, chiefly Turkish'.
