A statement of the accounts. Also, a typically fervant proposal for allocating funds to purchase an item for the library: Wilpert's four Vols on the early mosaics and paintings of Rome and Italy.

Eugenie has been lecturing in England and is raising the issue of the sabbatical year, which she asks to be kept private.

A particularly revealing letter which strongly sets the case for a permanently appointed librarian, with an appropriate salary (incl. a list of candadites, of whom Miss Wilkinson is the preferred choice), in order to alleviate the workloads of both Ashby and Strong. Also, Strong raises the question of summer leave in order to carry out research and visit museums across the Mediterranean.

Brief letter, very difficult to read.

Strong is setting out the case for appointing an assitant librarian to help her with cataloguing and archiving materials, especially in preperation for the next academic year. Strong also wants to add to the list of rules for students at the school involving the use of the library and getting permissions for sites. Strong also notes that Mrs Ashby has had an accident and broken her elbow.

Unclear. Hard to read handwriting. Permessi?

Strong is writing about the library work of Miss Hake and making the case for her reappointment as Librarian after the summer.

Strong writes to Forsdyke on a number of issues: the problems in the sending and receipt of post over the past few weeks, and thus the breakdown in some communication; a suggestion of Sig. Galassi of making the entrance to the sottoscala (the School's entrance steps) from the inside of the house; asking Forsdyke about coming to the School in June and whether they might look at some Etruscan material together; and finally the difficulties in getting away to Naples this year.

A typically detailed letter from Strong to Forsdyke. The subjects discussed include: comments on proofs for PBSR; asking Forsdyke for books not possible to access in Rome; and the effects of the extremely hot weather in Rome and the wellbeing of the students.

Enclosing some proofs with comments for PBSR.
