The Ambassador was more than cordial and all sorts 1911 3109 Embassy where I shall see the Ambassador whom I have not met yet 1910 87 and spoke after it. So did the Ambassador. You shee no Ambassadors 1905 3301 am. Only tell Ambrose and see the electrical effect it produces on 1907 1766 Ambrose did not come - I wanted to hear what and M. made 1906 145 Ambrose is here. He is a good deal shaken I think by his 1907 419 Ambrose is just coming to talk about it and we'll take 1905 3621 told Ambrose to come and see me late to talk about drawing 1907 1686 how he and Maurice got on with Mrs Ambrose P. I should rather like to 1909 3576 successful menage than that of Ambrose. She is a very gushing lady; I 1911 959 near 'Amej and of them we asked news of our friend Muhammad el 1911 946 the small desert fortress of 'Amej. It stands upon the edge of a 1909 2575 and I was not sorry when I got to Der el Amer at noon to find that its 1906 10 America about maps. Do you see my friend the Governor of 1905 1793 America) she has given me another, quite empty, but I 1905 2817 We want to go to America, they say, to Egypt, to Cyprus, anywhere 1905 1540 I think. That afternoon I went to tea with the American 1907 1447 Maden Sheher. The occupants proved to be 3 young American 1909 2365 Protestant (sic! he has been converted by the American 1911 2536 Everyone to whom I talked told me how much the American 1911 2508 I arrived in Mardin and told you that the kind American 1905 2441 the American archaeologists came in from the East, you 1907 1538 mapmaker, in the shape of one of the American archaeologists, and 1907 1582 another guest today, an American boy called Robinson who is step son 1909 1374 arrived from Baghdad, an American called Dr Blunt, and an 1905 1543 American camp, saw their rubbings, their plans and their 1909 158 old friends at the American college and I had long talks with the Vice 1905 357 heads of the great American college here which is a remarkable place 1909 3040 Hamid. Next came the American consul who acts for us while Mr Rawlins 1909 3042 man, was the American consul; he sat with me for near 2 hours and gave 1911 3060 American doctors at Beyrout who may be able to do 1911 177 shall go and see the American hospital, which Mrs Bliss is very 1905 2824 working forthe American liquorice trust. He came to see me, Europeans 1905 321 you know, and they hang on the American market. Last year the 1909 3366 large American mission and hospital at a village called Talas 1909 3047 Fortunately 2 or 3 American missionaries from the Kharput College 1909 3496 American missionaries and one of them fresh from Adana - 1911 2979 one of the American missionaries, whoc I had sen once in Aleppo, and 1910 413 "Ah yes, two hours." The talk then turned on the American nation 1905 322 American supply was very small and they raked in money 1906 176 enormously tall American wife and his pretty little sister. I want 1907 1863 very nice little American woman from the American College in C'ple, a 1910 69 One is a nice plain little American woman who is studying brickwork - 1905 2211 Syrian doctor who had been educated at the American College 1907 1863 very nice little American woman from the American College in C'ple, a 1911 160 American College where I found Mrs Bliss - Dr Bliss, the 1911 3073 Bliss came, the head of the American College, so that I was able to 1907 1471 Americans early tomorrow morning to the big Byzantine for 1907 1464 away this difficulty. The Americans have been very useful today for 1905 2586 the Americans have not been, so it's worth while to spend a 1907 1543 great relief to my mind to have got it done. The Americans left this 1905 2599 are all in Greek and the kind Americans taught me how to read the 1905 79 He comes back much impressed with the States and Americans. He 1909 3734 choose. They are both turgid bombastic Americans. I can't help being 1911 2496 I need scarcely say and found that the kind Americans, who have 1905 2724 also called on his father who is a sort of Amfortas. He lies on a 1909 1504 holy. However before I knew where I wazs, Amin had 1909 1497 And incidentally I saw people. My kavass, Amin, soon got 1911 242 long talk, the upshot of which is that the Amir is going to seek out a 1905 1575 been a black slave. His name is Amir Abdullah Pasha, I have seen a 1905 1651 Amir Abdullah's there dropped in one of B great 1909 690 and Ammianus Marcellianus as I have the way before me pretty 1909 321 owed its existence. I have just been reading Ammianus Marcellianus and 1911 2439 Roman frontier. There is a vivid account in Ammianus Marcellinus of 1911 2566 many mistakes. Yesterday, on my way to Deir el 'Amr, 1909 249 muleteers, Hajj 'Amr, has been with me before. Four years ago he came 1909 249 muleteers, Hajj 'Amr, has been with me before. Four years ago he came 1911 2571 Deir el 'Amr, high up on the tops of the hills and I worked like 2 1905 3548 Love to Amy. I hope you are wel. Ever your affectionate 1909 883 no sooner did we get into the long street of 'Ana 1909 888 go to my heart to have sent him empty away. "Ana is like 1909 797 Thursday March 11. These 2 days into 'Ana we are on the only part of 1909 785 road to 'Ana. They don't really mind at all and I shall write to 1909 858 Friday March 12. 'Ana. We had all kinds of adventure this morning. 1909 3418 tell it to you - I wish it could be handled by Anatole France. There 1907 1217 the road came out of Asia and crossed Anatolia going westward to the 1909 2324 these Assyrian and others exactly like them in Anatolia Hittite 1907 2412 William says is the most magnificent building in Anatolia. It is 1910 669 Anatolian diggings and altogether it was very enjoyable 1910 603 Anatolian influence 1907 1833 of these Anatolian mouldings before - one book will be very 1909 3243 Anatolian plateau at last. At 5 in the evening we came to 1905 3028 their way and hove up on the wrong side of Anavarza all with an 1905 3120 hills. I don't wonder Anavarza had such a fine necropolis - all the 1905 3034 Anavarza. The castle stands on an huge mass of rock, 2 1905 3022 April 20 Anavarza. Yesterday morning I found there were lots of 1905 3090 a great piece of luck! Two things I dislike in Anavarza, one 1911 2330 Shammar are Bedu; only the Shammar and the 'Anazeh are real Bedawin, 1909 1832 and the 'Anazeh for all practical purposes divide the desert 1905 1709 one of the high stock of the 'Anazeh. Now he has grown old and heavy, 1909 811 of the 'Amarat, an offshoot of the 'Anazeh, very big people. His 1911 935 'Anazeh, Bedu par excellence: no other tribe in these part 1910 166 On Sunday I come back to Ancona (via Fiume because the boat goes that 1910 259 Tuesday night Grand Hotel Roma Pace Ancona (29 March 1910) Dearest 1910 165 to Ancona and cross that night to Spalato where I stay 1910 307 o'clock and travelled to Ancona where I arrived at 7. And I don't 1905 1446 trouble we had given them. Mrs Anderson is a sister of Mrs Runciman - 1905 1443 attractive creature. He is travelling with the Andersons, the owners 1905 3617 Sunday Tidworth House Andover (October 29 1905) Dearest Mother, You 1911 2175 ago, great profit from endless talks with Dr Andrae 1909 1932 friends with Andrae - he'll probably turn up at Rounton some day 1911 2161 3. Safely arrived at Kal'at Shergat where Dr Andrae and 1909 1930 things were tending. Dr Andrae entirely agrees with me as to its date 1909 1950 on the highest ridge of the tell, and Dr Andrae reconstructed for as 1909 1919 excavations inch by inch with Dr Andrae. During all the time I was 1911 1547 Shergat to see Andrae. We have had rather an exciting time here since 1909 1908 and was warmly welcomed by Dr Andrae, who is head of the excavators 1909 1922 evening Dr Andrae, Mr Jordans and I eagerly discussed the 1910 807 - wonderfully interesting. And then I saw Andrae's things in the 1907 653 when I returned from Nif. I will try and go to Andrea tomorrow 1907 774 Please tell Father I went to Andrea's but found the carpets had been 1911 2894 old Mr Andrus, from Mardin; we had arranged to meet here and I 1911 2510 very much. One of my hosts, an old party called Andrus, is the 1909 131 nurse at the Angleterre and she sent him many messages. She has not 1909 49 Angleterre. Next morning I went out early to the oldest 1907 89 I lunched with Lady Anne today and spent a couple of hours in her 1906 168 going out into the country tomorrow to see Lady Anne Blunt 1907 32 afternoon we spent with Lady Anne. She was dressed in full Bedouin 1906 92 I herd a concerto and came away. Please thank Annie for 1907 2607 Now Annie is coming and I am going out riding with her 1907 2626 I rode with Annie yesterday afternoon and had tea at Mt Grace. The 1911 563 a board, my gloves (Annie's woolen gloves, bless her.) like iron, my 1909 2533 Eugenius who was a disciple of St Anthony and the rule he instituted 1911 2758 really too brittle. And poor Anthony! I have the most delcious post 1905 1388 into the Damascus plain, with Hermon and the Anti Libanus 1905 1837 most dreary valley between the Lebanon and the Anti Libanus and after 1905 1783 Anti Libanus in 2 long day's march to baalbek, the 1911 190 line crosses Lebanon and Anti Libanus, both passes being over 4500 ft 1905 1889 and Anti Libanus, both snow covered at this moment and 1905 2821 rode through a 6 hours' paradise yesterday from Antioch 1905 2826 ago, to Daphne, near Antioch (it's the home of the Daphne legend, but 1905 2752 of Antioch and rode through the town and pitched camp on a 1905 2823 There is an English man at Antioch called Orr, an engineer who is 1905 2800 after riding from Antioch for 6 hours and walking all over the ruins 1905 2853 day at Antioch in order to see a collection of antiquities in 1907 1027 Friday May 3. Yalovach, which is Antioch in Pisidia. I had such a 1905 2756 Friday 7. Antioch is like the pantaloon whose clothes have grown 1905 2371 to go straight to Aleppo and return to Antioch on my way north. My 1905 2795 yesterday and meant to go back to Antioch today, but it was so lovely 1905 2600 dates. We use here the era of Antioch which begins at AD 49. The 1905 2747 At 12 I rode off and had 6 hours to Antioch. All that we suffered 1905 2206 in the afternoon and tomorrow morning I'm off to Antioch. Ever 1909 250 as far as Antioch. The others, Selim and Habib, are new. The 1905 2735 I proceeded on my way to Antioch. We set off, the 3 of us and rode an 1905 2825 being scarce in Antioch, and we rode together in the afternoon, 2 days 1911 94 Antonines - so I think. If Paribene would be so kind, I 1911 84 architectural fragments from a tomb of the Antonines found some way 1911 2086 Kerkuk, 'Anullah Pasha. It is nothing short of miraculous, the 1905 2277 Sunday 19th. Kala'at el Muddik - Apamea, one of the many, and a most 1907 840 high snowy range of mts, at the foot of which Aphrodisias lies. It is 1907 832 Aphrodisias which are some of the most beautiful in A. Mi 1907 842 in the middle of the town is the temple of Aphrodite with 14 white 1910 538 Apollinaire in Classe tomorrow afternoon. Then I went to 1907 487 who wrote an excellent book on the temple of Apollo 1905 2487 gateways and minarets of the finest period of Arab 1909 61 on the walls of its mosques - the Copt and the Arab 1909 1127 the Sassanians but for the Lakhmid princes. The Arab 1909 723 puts Zeitha, it was not Arab; there was no Arab 1909 2825 Byzantine fortification, part magnificent Arab 1911 2365 down into the plain, minarets and tombs of fine Arab 1909 2342 was not Arab and how the Kurds built I don't yet know. We had 1905 2167 There is indeed, a great castle, but it is Arab and of no great age 1911 2152 cultivated. The population which is mixed Arab and Kurdish, live 1909 1798 typically late Arab and, outside, it was a town of storks who had 1911 1325 the sea of Nejef. Accordingly I took an Arab as a guide. Sheikh 1909 1971 six governments without a single peasant or Arab being any 1905 1708 raider in his day, for he comes of Arab blood and his grandfather was 1905 1260 I breakfasted with the Sheikh on tea and Arab bread and a sort of 1905 801 me an excellent dinner, meat and rice and Arab bread and oranges 1909 1369 or Arab burnt bricks for 1000 years, but each when he 1909 1635 towns. It's mostly Arab but some is earlier. Parthian I think, and 1909 673 engaged an Arab called Khalaf, highly recommended by Mark Sykes 1905 1779 the city gates with every Arab camel driver. That is the heart of the 1911 2294 nothing else. There were Arab camps and flocks all along the shallow 1905 2251 stands an Arab castle and to the S and W on the plain are 1905 2878 along the coast and pitched tents by a little Arab castle at the 1911 2877 man's coat over her dress, and an Arab cloak over that; on her head 1909 1168 related in a rolling speech worthy of the great Arab days 1909 1849 time in looking at where the Tekrit of the great Arab days had 1909 868 took the law into his own hands, raided the Arab donkeys and 1905 2273 They wore the dark blue Arab dress and lovely gold ornaments on their 1905 2438 Tarutia. There were a few families of Arab fellahin living there in 1911 1443 beneath Arab flourishes, and the liberties which they took 1909 2349 as glad that there was nothing to see but a late Arab fortress 1905 1995 splend id Arab gateway into a vaulted corridor which covered a 1905 851 ed Druse. I am now waiting for my Arab guide and praise be to God! I 1911 2320 with me and an Arab guide rode off to a more eastern point where 1909 1146 an Arab guide. The soldiers were green with fear; they 1909 837 tents together with my soldiers and my Arab guides - an old man who is 1911 2617 of Arab history from the names of the rulers who had 1907 33 costume and we say her Arab horses and her garden with wolves and 1911 490 be back in all this again, Roman forts and Arab hosts and the wide 1905 2257 Arab house in the middle of the castle - I received 1909 860 their rifles Arab hunting - the Bedouins had come down to the 1911 1434 head of the police and pointed out that every Arab in the 1911 2361 antiquities of the mountain, had read all the Arab inscriptions on the 1905 1713 terms with his turbulent Arab kin and with the government, each trying 1905 1623 where I saw some lovely Arab mares - there was a stately simplicity 1911 2674 of Mayafarkin, walls and towers of unrivalled Arab masonry, rise out 1909 1859 don't doubt that it is of the great Arab period. Unfortunately very 1910 782 alone to write an article on the Persian and Arab poets for Mr 1905 1558 Arab population is an exceedingly difficult one. He 1905 1759 it better to keep them to myself. There is an Arab proverb 1909 2092 Arab servants. Do you remember that I met in Aleppo a 1905 2435 accompanying dirt cumulative. An Arab settlement is not a spot 1911 426 best of all is the delightful old Arab sheikh who has helped me with 1905 1697 great Arab sheikhs in gold embroidered cloaks, mighty fine 1909 865 among some herds of other donkeys, but the Arab shepherds hard by had 1905 1328 bit, one side of an Arab tent is always open you know. The fleas 1905 978 what an Arab tent is like. It's make of black goats' hair 1909 979 over the empty desert. Here we expected to find Arab tents 1909 521 pasture land scattered over thinly with Arab tents - 1911 2311 last we saw Arab tents ahead and knew that there must be 1905 840 Habib's corn land, and a few of the black Arab tents are scattered 1911 697 frail Arab tents falling one by one, leaving the camp fires 1905 1076 open space in the middle and there are a few Arab tents near me, the 1905 1372 night in Arab tents was rather wearing I must admit and I felt 1905 1304 there was a pool of water near and Arab tents 2 hours away - we found 1911 682 old. We got into camp at 3 near some Arab tents. The sheikh, a 1911 625 got into camp about 4 not far from some Arab tents. This is our 1905 1310 of the smoke of some Arab tents. We got there in the dusk and 1911 522 Our companions have 3 big Arab tents, open in front, and we our 2 1909 639 at a most splendid castle of the best Arab time, if I have read the 1909 58 many hours in the Arab town and was again convinced that Cairo is 1905 2486 has been a great great Arab town; as you drive through the narrow 1909 340 we came to Tell Ahmar, a little Arab village lying at the foot of a 1905 2168 and the town is walled with Arab walls. There must have been more 1907 169 me to tea undaunted. I went in the evening to an Arab wedding 1905 832 sheperded by an Arab with an immensely long gun. About 4 we came out 1905 2880 a great khan and a mosque of good Arab work but all in ruins and a 1905 2488 and the castle is the most splendid bit of Arab work I have 1909 711 call a church is Arab. "Effendim" said he "what you have honoured us 1909 596 Arab. And so we came down to our tents which are 1909 712 is quite correct. The origin of that church is Arab. It 1905 524 receiving relays of people, Persian and Arab; it has been very 1909 694 must be. All the ruins here are Arab; it was a big town under the 1909 723 Keipert tentatively puts Zeitha, it was not Arab; there was no Arab 1909 718 the sites. All were Arab; Nimrud must have been very busy here 1909 944 I think this castle is not Sassanian but Arab, an 1905 2292 but damp all the same. The castle, as usual, is Arab, on 1905 2432 age there will be no nomads left in Arabia - but it is still far off 1905 2516 2 places of any importance to us in Arabia. "Mecca and Medina" said 1905 2515 what we were doing in Arabia. I said cheerfully that there were only 1905 379 news from Arabia. It was most interesting. I hope we shall meet 1905 767 on their way to help Ibn Rashid in Central Arabia. It's good 1905 901 with them. But their camels are the best in Arabia. They were very 1905 380 Arabia, he and I. I am also bosom friends with the 1st 1905 2172 could find nothing. Inscriptions niente, except Arabic 1905 1517 desire it. But it is a pleasure to be speaking Arabic 1909 2478 little Arabic - mostly I'm up against Kurdish or Syriac here 1911 198 He talked Turkish, a few words of French and no Arabic - we made shift 1911 2885 thinking to improve my Arabic "what is the name of these?" "Effendim 1909 3176 from Damascus, so we had a long talk in Arabic about the situation 1911 346 is also studying Arabic and generally accompanies me upon my 1905 1922 secretary piecing out his Arabic and my Turkish. One of the principal 1907 1974 speaks Arabic and she speaks French, but she says she knows 1905 1570 speak Arabic and I cannot venture in Turkish; our 1905 3336 Arabic and I enjoyed my hours among these beautiful 1905 3184 fortnight. Fattur speaks Arabic and Turkish 1906 157 away, unfortunately, but I'm goioing to see the Arabic art man 1905 783 man who taught me Arabic at Haifa and they have all been in to see me 1911 112 Professor of Arabic at Strassburg and has been detailed this winter 1910 532 very well known Arabic epigraphist and a nephew of hte Moscheles 1909 1073 translated into Arabic for the benefit of the company - they were not 1905 2444 Arabic for 3 weeks. So I stayed next day at Tarutin and 1909 281 me to read an old and much effaced Arabic inscription that we found in 1911 2663 hard work at these 3 (to say nothing of the Arabic inscriptions 1905 2539 Syrians talking nothing but Arabic into Asia Minor. I have got 3 1905 2151 German friend would say. My Arabic is becoming very fluent, thank 1905 2812 the limit of the Arabic speaking country. These people talk Armenian 1911 169 and I found one compositor setting up the Arabic text 1907 1971 replied in very good Arabic that I did. Then he said "Effendim 1905 2054 same sort of enjoyable rubbish in Arabic that I have so frequently 1905 579 dined sociably with the 2 monks conversing in Arabic the 1905 2535 native family and talked the most fluent Arabic till a 1905 2813 Turkish. I found one yesterday who would speak Arabic to guide me 1911 172 only knew Arabic you see. They are sending me a lot of their 1911 2043 conversation in Arabic. The bishop had spent 8 years in Rome and we 1905 2023 translated the Last Days of Pompeii into Arabic. We had an enormous 1911 113 lecture (in classical Arabic!) at the Cairo University, Mr Crowfoot is 1905 1652 a famous sheikh, an old man, very learned in Arabic, a 1911 345 is studying Arabic, among them, and a young man called Hillelson 1909 2240 is the universal language here. Ali Beg talks Arabic, but badly. He 1911 1772 They most of them spoke Arabic, but between themselves they spoke 1909 2665 my tale (he hasn't much Arabic, but the priest interpreted in Kurdish) 1905 1915 man, with very little of the Arabic, but the rest of the assembled 1911 1874 one, who talked Arabic, came with me to explain to Kerim Khan why I 1905 804 at Haifa who used to teach me Arabic, her brother in law, Habib 1907 979 Turkish and half in broken Arabic, of his 10 years in Yemen and of 1907 1970 in very bad Arabic: "Effendim, do yu know Arabic?" I 1907 1970 said hurriedly in very bad Arabic: "Effendim, do yu know Arabic?" I 1905 1293 spce a few black tents belonging to the Ghiath Arabs 1909 376 At 8 we set to work; I taught some of the Arabs 1909 513 rolling desert to the E., uninhabited except by Arabs 1909 1158 on the ground. Khethar is occupied by some Arabs 1909 1020 the water comes up into cup like holes which the Arabs 1909 736 eat was comparatively innocuous. We saw some Arabs 1909 1149 partly by bribes we induced them to consent (the Arabs 1909 2020 head and shoulders, above the earth - the Arabs 1911 842 Arabs 1909 1461 at least 2 posts were held up at Amara by the Arabs - you have 1911 549 Arabs and every hour or so the wind brought a fresh 1905 1330 moon shining into the tent, the Arabs and the Druzes were all sleeping 1905 2450 had been built about by the Arabs and turned into a fort, and church 1911 2250 Arabs and Kurds among them, at every stage of 1905 2268 been imprisoned for a year and more with the Arabs at their gate 1911 1372 cemetaries. The Arabs bring in their dead by night and try to bury 1905 2253 bluff is a village of semi nomadic Arabs but the castle itself is 1905 1899 most curious place. The Arabs call it the Ark of the Prophet Noah and 1911 987 here is what the Arabs call sabkha, soft, crumbly salt marsh 1909 2049 from behind the hills. After a few minutes two Arabs came 1911 746 grows thick the Arabs cannot camp here. All along our way there is 1911 614 found that some Arabs had camped not far off and nothing remained 1911 1270 and donkeys. None of the Arabs had ever seen snow.

And often 1905 1306 the matter of the Arabs he lied, did Hound of God - or we 1909 617 tribe all the Arabs here belong, and about 2 o'clock came to the 1905 900 of base blood.

The Arabs use some sort of white 1909 2005 to speak. The Jebur Arabs were all ferrying across to the E side to 1909 569 result. The Arabs were full of tales of ruins on the surrounding 1905 1081 state of mind, saying that if any of the Arabs were to see me in my 1911 2315 dinner. The Arabs were very sympathetic and brought us some 1911 670 Arabs where we were gone.

You understand, if yu camp near them you are 1911 2284 one drinks it but the Arabs; we drank from wells, but they were 1911 1628 cards that the Arabs, against whom Nazim has recently sent out 2 1911 2952 of mudbuilt huts inhabited by half-settled Arabs, and the 1911 2348 Arabs, and with everybody else, but the Turks have now 1909 873 landowners who on the way cursed all and sundry Arabs, lock stock and 1905 1000 worth having. Not the Arabs, of course; they could never settle down 1909 517 villages behind and are now camped among Arabs, praise be to God! We 1905 2264 the eldest Seijari brother killed one of the Arabs, the 1909 1243 thought from our own Arabs, Ali and his people, and were directed 1910 434 by the invading 'Arars, took refuge in the emperor's great walled 1909 2001 east I could see the plain of Arbela where Alexander conquered Asia 1910 18 together to see the Arch of Constantine, after which she took me to 1910 593 Archaeological Institute at Vienna.

It lies at the 1909 2891 place called Arghana wonderfully built on the side of a preciptous 1909 2902 very wild and splendid. We got into camp at Arghana Maden (the name 1909 2909 I looked out onto Arghana Maden village climbing the hill on the 1909 2903 of Arghana) or rather we got into a khan, for the Tigris 1907 1376 this morning. He rode off on a donkey to Arik Euren and I hope we 1907 1348 from the Mudir of Arik Euren. Please keep it for me - it's a curio 1909 2396 in remote Armenia. We got up to the Ark about 9 - it was a most 1909 2398 must confess there isn't much of the Ark left. We stayed there many 1905 1899 most curious place. The Arabs call it the Ark of the Prophet Noah and 1909 2392 though partyly because, you see, I have seen the Ark there 1909 2390 look at the Ark. There is a large body of opinion in favour of 1909 2396 in remote Armenia. We got up to the Ark about 9 - it was a most 1905 2812 the Arabic speaking country. These people talk Armenian 1909 2896 view and an agreeable cup of coffee with the Armenian 1909 3394 the whole matter was the Armenian agitation, which has been going on 1907 2438 Armenian and the difficulties they put in the way of 1905 2814 to the ruins - an Armenian he was and a most cheerful person. Their 1905 3044 Armenian kingdom - and now a mass of ruin deeply 1909 3248 northern Armenian kingdom in the 10th century and drove the 1909 3265 and had put up at a big Armenian monastery, their being no place to 1911 2490 Christian community and I called upon the Armenian priest and then 1909 3396 independent Armenian province, Cilicia was the spot they chose, and 1909 3254 village, but it dated only from the Armenian time and there was no 1905 2789 Armenian village scattered through the mulberry trees 1909 3244 Armenian village, but I rode off a little way to see a 1909 3046 lots of Armenian villages round about and all were decimated in 1905 2854 of a rich Pasha. He had a MS of the Psalms in Armenian which he 1909 2751 haste to my aid, a worthy Armenian who is rather a bore, for he has 1909 3502 independence for the Armenian. I've got my facts pretty sharply 1911 2725 with the good little Thomas Effendi (he is an Armenian) to do all 1909 3403 quantities than was actually the case. The Armenians 1909 3326 years ago it was reoccupied by a colony of Armenians and that on April 1909 3054 Kharput and Mezreh. Mr Masterson calmed the Armenians as best he 1909 3497 is that the Armenians deserved - no of course what they got, no one 1909 3287 had begun to suspect that the Armenians here looked upon me as a sort 1909 3245 back to find camp pitched and tea ready. The Armenians like 1905 2816 Armenians only, but the Christians and the Muhummadans an 1909 3093 the leading Armenians to sign a testimonial to the Vali saying that h 1909 3095 and behold! the Armenians won't have a word to say to it. No, they 1909 3407 April 13. Whatever blame attaches to the Armenians, the heaviest 1906 149 were difficulties. Tell Moll this. I have found Armide and 1905 3230 Arncliff wild tulip growing in great patches, but 1905 3546 Arncliff woods when all the others are going. It's 1905 47 We went to Arncliff yesterday and ran about packing away the books 1905 3542 tea at Arncliff yesterday and the good old Kirbys came in, so 1905 3231 as it does at Arncliff. There were no people at all anywhere, the one 1907 2646 The young lady has also returned to Arncliffe having been away 1906 142 wants some old hats to sell at Arncliffe.

She might have been Artemis of the lake herself 1907 2682 a bottle of brandy for it yesterday and I sent Arthur 1907 379 party is more interesting. Mr Elliot is here, Arthur and 1907 383 agreeably. Arthur has got what I hope may be a safe seat in 1910 253 Morning Post - and a clever man. Tomorrow Mr Ashby and I are going 1910 392 thing. so I flew home to dress and dined with Dr Ashby to 1910 336 to go with Dr Ashby to see villas. Mme de Filippi took us in her 1910 77 distinguished audience of professors. Dr Ashby, the head of the 1910 366 The party was Dr Ashby, Miss van Deman, Mr Newton and two other 1911 2372 place called Deir el 'Asi, the .......

Here Mithridates 1907 1175 traffic from Europe to Asia and Asia to Europe for many many 1905 3365 hotel is quite excellent, the best in Asia upon my honour! and kept 1907 1138 Asia M. Now I know it isn't. One has to learn these 1905 735 letters to all the Turkish governors in Asia Minor 1905 3387 a little rocky cup high up in the hills - with Asia Minor 1905 2977 I'm really in Asia Minor - a most exciting thought. And I have to 1907 605 the SW corner of Asia Minor and yachts on the seas. They all have 1905 2374 Asia Minor and I feel that I am master of the 1909 2940 have got into Asia Minor at last; no other country has hills and 1905 106 almost persuaded to join me in Asia Minor in the Spring! Maurice 1905 3214 reached the Central Asia Minor plateau. As far as the eye could see 1905 3078 rights to be, but of the Central Asia Minor type, and I think that 1910 487 Niemann, whose works on Asia Minor I know well; he is a sort of littel 1906 101 Ramsay and Asia Minor. I feel sure you will sympathise with it 1905 2539 Syrians talking nothing but Arabic into Asia Minor. I have got 3 1910 191 churches in Mesopotamia and Asia Minor. I, on the other hand, told 1910 678 of which are at Ravenna, Salonica and in Asia Minor. It 1905 3218 in Asia Minor. It seems a pity when they make so few 1907 1747 a single district in central Asia Minor. See what we have got out of 1905 674 from him that he had accompanied Lord Sykes into Asia Minor. So I 1907 1947 daily when travelling in Asia Minor; the wonder is that one gets 1905 3482 one of the great sights of Asia Minor, the Hittite sculptures at 1905 641 German Consulate, Konia, Asia Minor, until further notice. Will you 1905 650 soon as I touch the German line in Asia Minor, I shall have my Konia 1907 1388 Hittites all the time. Now this is the manner of Asia Minor: there is 1907 1194 the interior you feel Asia, the real heart of Asia. Monotonous 1909 1588 Asia; they are both very clever with flowers. It was 1909 1578 important Consulate General in Asia, described as H.M.'s British Vice 1910 267 not in Asia, in walked Haseloff who had turned up at Spoleto 1907 1197 plains andd the barren hills - such is central Asia, of 1910 633 all the world as if I were back in Asia, only there there would have 1907 1194 into the interior you feel Asia, the real heart of Asia. Monotonous 1909 3005 the state of fear and unrest that reigns in the Asiatic 1911 91 the fragments at the Terme.

I spent at Assur the most delightful days of my 1909 1945 heavy. Assur was looking its best while I was there.

Yes, these have 1909 2148 rode through blazing heat across the plains of Assyria, deep in 1909 2222 beards; they look exactly like the heads on the Assyrian 1909 2189 came to Bavian and camped by its river under the Assyrian 1909 2324 call these Assyrian and others exactly like them in Anatolia Hittite 1909 1913 Tigris; it was the oldest Assyrian capital and remained one of the 1909 1999 Xenophon saw the great Assyrian city of Calah standing in ruins 1909 2419 about the frontier of the Assyrian empire I should think, and tonight 1905 1900 the archaeologists say it is an Assyrian fortress - I really can't 1909 1547 lion of the Assyrian reliefs - I was thrilled to see them. I spent an 1909 2305 Assyrian reliefs at a place called Malthai. We had to 1909 701 like the Assyrian soldiers on the bas reliefs in the British 1909 2022 their work. Assyrian statues are incredibly rare; there are only 6 or 1909 2367 some Assyrian stelai. I shouldn't call him Chaldaean perhaps 1909 2372 suspect for there was an Assyrian stele below it. My guides were the 1909 2418 toiled 2 hours up hill and saw some more Assyrian stele. This must be 1909 2371 and saw a very ancient fortress on a crag - Assyrian I 1909 598 whether it is Assyrian, Greek or Roman I do not know.

I go first to Priene and then by boat across 1905 3007 Budrum, which is Hierapolis Castabals, and here I spent 1907 890 along its eastern shore, the lake of Buldur. Bitter salt it is and 1907 893 And so we came to Buldur, a fine town standing in a rich land and 1910 468 We were met by an Italian professor to whom Bulic 1910 422 Bulic (prononce Bertrand). As soon as I had washed and 1910 589 and went away. Then Bulic and I returned to our tombstones by the 1910 577 content. About 5 Bulic appeared and we went together to the Museum 1910 485 Bulic had given me every sort of catalogue, published 1910 595 Christian basilicas which Bulic has excavated. The town was destroyed 1910 580 and would Monsignor come and show him round. Bulic insisted that I 1910 442 (there are 4) and so back to the library where Bulic joined 1910 443 us. Bulic speaks German with me, but occasionally relapses 1910 601 Monsignor Bulic the significance of double columns, of which he 1910 574 leave from Monsignor Bulic to go and read in the library, which is in 1910 460 Bulic to inspect Sebenico.

And if the Filippis stay on Monday the 17th we 1906 117 de Bunsens, but I almost think it would be better not to 1907 550 off to see the head of the English railway, Mr Burfield and 1907 553 conversation with Mr Burfield who (I suppose on the strength of Lord 1907 2572 don't think the Burghclercs or someone of that kind would be nice 1910 583 the Burgomaster, in everning dress, the Commandant, in unifor 1905 2058 Monday 13.

I spent yesterday afternoon at Burnabat which is the place where 1905 3801 Mr Burton is coming to tea, dull young man. Your 1909 686 ground from time to time; ans so we came to Al Buseira 1905 2640 out. I rode in to my tents at Busufan, arriving at 2 o'clock chilled 1909 3756 every day. Yesterday we yachted al round Bute, Lord R. Lady 1905 2447 As Mr Butler drew the plans and Mr Prentice and Dr Littmann 1907 416 in admiring terms. I've been consulting with Butler's 1909 1561 and especially about Vi Buxton. She has left an indelible record 1906 12 better and I think I might have dined with the Buxtons tonight but 1910 168 Byron. You can't, I think, write to me to Spalato 1909 552 probably Byzantine, for I have seen one or two Byz coins in the 1907 1177 of Misthia where there was a bishop in Byz. times and so at 10.15 I 1906 48 He is perhaps the best English authority on Byzantine 1907 1748 Hittite sites and a vast amount of unexpected Byzantine 1907 1924 potteries which are I think Byzantine - I do not think they are older 1907 1581 Byzantine castle - no treasure in them I'm sorry to say 1907 2114 at a yaila. The ruin was nothing but a Byzantine castle and a pretty 1907 678 Byzantine castle climbing up the first spur of the 1907 1650 Byzantine castle whicvh I must add to my castle here, and 1907 1988 a high peak I found and planned a Byzantine castle. I fear the plan 1907 2215 ruined Byzantine city where I found some extemely interesting 1907 1432 was laid to rest there. Now a Domesticus was the Byzantine commander 1909 3249 inhabitants southward into what was still the Byzantine empire 1907 2024 was Byzantine except the historical probability that it was 1907 1471 Americans early tomorrow morning to the big Byzantine fort which he is 1907 1539 carried him off to help me plan the Byzantine fort. It's 3 hours ride 1909 2825 of them the original Byzantine fortification, part magnificent Arab 1907 687 many of the houses, mostly Byzantine frieze; the fountain in the 1909 2341 been. It may have been a Byzantine frontier fortress; it certainly 1911 2540 the armies of Persia and Byzantine left it in peace the mountain is to 1907 686 castle and a Byzantine palace. There were bits of old work built into 1907 1635 century, the time of the great Byzantine revival under Nicephorus 1907 1058 by ruined Byzantine walls dropping into th ewater in great blocks o 1905 307 which was once a Crusader and before that a Byzantine, church. It's a 1909 552 probably Byzantine, for I have seen one or two Byz coins in the 1905 467 rather a Byzantine, saint and she has lived here 25 years with 1909 2499 citadel on top of all, Byzantine, I should think, in the beginning - 1907 1706 in letter it's the dust of Byzantines which flies round me. The work 1907 1862 Karadagh since the time of the Byzantines. I have another visitor, a 1910 655 straight from Byzantium. Opposite to it stands a Loggia with 6th 1905 3282 beings again! I am deciding to go straight to C'ple 1905 3514 to yu today saying that I shall be in C'ple 1907 673 against him, has one of the palace officials in C'ple 1909 3435 do in 2 days or perhaps one. Then I shall go to C'ple 1909 3088 M. has tried to get from the Vali a copy of the C'ple 1911 1587 said "I was with him when the telegram came from C'ple an hour 1909 1968 rumours of alarums and excursions in C'ple and am longing to know what 1907 2497 This morning I went into C'ple and did a lot of business and then came 1907 2423 Friday for C'ple and have telegraphed to you to write there.

He is going to Konia 1911 287 saw the like outside C'ple before. The country is changing slowly 1909 2099 Thursday April 29. The way the embassy at C'ple behaves is very 1905 1413 word. I'll write a word to Father to Athens or C'ple but 1905 3190 break up my camp there and come straight up to C'ple by 1907 2448 and this is not much, as I should come on to C'ple by sea and 1907 2441 C'ple even with me. I telegraphed at once to the Grand 1909 2872 the bad and I may possibly recover even that at C'ple for I 1911 2863 Sherket Pasha - which I shall do if I go to C'ple for I 1909 3358 with unmentionable punishments from C'ple if he let any harm come to 1907 2449 by Graz as before. I expect I shall hear from C'ple in a day 1911 2815 I am in the thick of negotiations with C'ple in order to get 1911 3037 the quick boat for C'ple left on the following Saturday and as he was 1911 3128 leaving C'ple on Wednesday. It was a very amusing party as you 1907 2455 off on Monday, either straight to C'ple or via Smyrna. It's a great 1911 2697 come by C'ple or Marseilles. As I shall be home before the 1909 3059 that on the 17th a telegram had come from C'ple ordering massacres 1905 3522 then it's 2 days' journey to C'ple so that I shall still be 3 days 1911 2776 to me yesterday from C'ple that orders had been sent to the Commandant 1909 3452 nights on my way home - I shall telegraph from C'ple to 1911 1574 withdrawn, telegrams despatched to C'ple to beg that he might remain 1907 2437 him with me to C'ple to see a very good docter there. But he is an 1909 1981 asking for news from C'ple to which he answered that the Committee's 1909 3070 their fervour. The fact was that the order from C'ple was too 1905 3293 telegraph from C'ple when I am leaving so you would have plenty of 1907 2524 the night at the Embassy. On Thursday I lunch in C'ple with Mr 1909 2992 Mr Fitzmaurice was in C'ple with Sir Gerard on Monday. He stayed that 1909 2846 any fresh disturbances in C'ple would have an immediate effect both on C'ple SEE ALSO Constantinople 1907 2505 most interesting man in C'ple. But as soon as I go back there I shall 1911 2827 who is now in C'ple. He is M. Sherket's cousin. The Vali says he 1907 561 Grand Vizier at C'ple. He told me the whole tale and a very curious 1911 3085 there and quarantine consequently in C'ple. I am sorry for I should 1905 3520 but I shall not feel happy till I reach C'ple. I can't 1911 2730 head of the museum at C'ple. I have also a good deal of photography 1907 1679 that he wants to see me as I pass through C'ple. It will be 1909 3109 orders form C'ple. That looks as if the Salonica Committee knew 1905 2127 C'ple. The conversation was exceedingly amusing, not 1909 3007 solidity of C'ple. The one point of view corrects the other and 1905 1560 allowed to return to C'ple. They are afraid of him at court. He took 1911 1575 here forever. He has bitter enemies in C'ple; the Committee are 1909 3566 I shall go back to C'ple; I hope to see Professor van Milligen that 1907 1863 American woman from the American College in C'ple, a 1909 3448 leave for C'ple, arriving there July 5.

The villages here have all been Christian 1905 3323 from Greek settlements before the Christian age. When you consider 1910 595 Christian basilicas which Bulic has excavated. The town 1905 3380 times, it must have been a very important early Christian city 1911 2490 Christian community and I called upon the Armenian priest 1905 3088 if they used the Christian era here, but it must be pretty close to it 1905 2217 anti Christian feeling here.

This morning I rode out with 2 Christians and Haidar my 1907 1039 pilgrimage where the Christians come once a year, in September, from 1905 814 my bed. Then came my hostess; though they are Christians her 1909 2363 gorge by the tiny village of Hassana. They are Christians here 1905 1696 Christians in frock coats with rosaries in their hands 1905 1616 here that 'Abdul Kadir sheltered a thousand Christians in 1860, the 1911 2041 priests all talked French, but so many notable Christians of the 1905 472 first mistress of the seas, is known to most Christians only through 1905 2356 the stables, strolling through the gardens.

No one is heard from the 1909 3396 independent Armenian province, Cilicia was the spot they chose, and 1905 2968 in and out of Cilicia. I was determined not to lose touch with my 1905 3225 to be on top of Taurus after a fortnight of Cilician plain and coast 1905 3114 Saturday 22. I shall not soon forget the Cilician plain. The heat of 1907 1978 goes to Eregli and the Cilician Gates 1907 2025 fortresses that watched over the road from the Cilician Gates 1905 3475 the opening of the Cilician Gates and is watered by splendid mountain 1910 522 presented Beni's letter of introductin to one Cipriani 1910 535 tonight! After lunch I went to S. Vitale to Cipriani's office to 1909 3220 wide valley, all cultivated and set with neat Circassian 1909 300 stand round it. The Circassian colony has taken all the stones, from 1911 2900 pools, and last of all a Circassian colony has reinhabited the site 1905 2592 with a Circassian felt cloak which envelops me and my horse in 1909 3519 days out from Kaisarieh and that a Circassian had claimed one of the 1909 3210 juniper woods, and at last got into a Circassian village at the foot 1909 304 mounds and ruins, with the Circassian village in the middle. I wish I 1907 1320 Circassian village on the other side of the hills. He gav 1909 3217 left our Circassian village on Wed. - it was still bitter cold, 53 1907 1319 today. I lunched in the house of a charming Circassian who lives in a 1905 1566 benevolent pride and the Circassian wife sat smiling and smoking 1907 626 trouble. His wife is a very charming woman, a Circassian; she was in 1905 1561 into his harem and introduced me to his wife, a Circassian, and 1909 279 company of a charming Circassian, Mahmud Agha, a native of Bumbuj 1905 2512 women I have ever seen. Both he and she were Circassians 1905 3159 Greeks and Turks and parties in turbans and Circassians 1905 1405 edge of the volcanic country in a village of Circassians and in the 1909 3246 the Circassians are Muhajjar, Pilgrims. They came into this 1909 3222 of pine branches. 40 years ago, before the Circassians came 1909 3226 the autumn. The Circassians have brought the country into cultivation 1909 3229 quite respectable roads which the Circassians have made for their 1911 2908 - Shammar against Shammar, they leave the Circassians in peace for 1907 1322 has invited me to come and stay.

Woolston's bill is all for Clarence. I have told him to 1905 2829 work for us at Clarence-his former firm had built engines for us and 1907 2768 the first if the Clarendon Press permits 1910 538 Apollinaire in Classe tomorrow afternoon. Then I went to the Orthodox 1909 3027 I'm thrilled about the Cleveland election. I saw about it in the 1910 276 source of the Clitumnus, a church unlike any other in the world. It 1911 2372 place called Deir el 'Asi, the ....... Cloister - so called, I 1911 343 to the Club one or two evenings to play Bridge with the 1911 232 Naville, and invited me to tea and bridge at the Club this 1909 200 finally asked me if I would pay a visit to the Club to 1907 2644 motor over to Coatham this afternoon and take Sir F 1905 1476 his Cobden Club speech by the bye, if a copy could be sent 1911 4 whole Cobham family, Florence Pease and her daughter - and 1909 3623 Cockerell and Mr du Cann and asked them to come on the 2n 1909 3660 Mr Cockerell refuses, so do ask your man, he might come on 1909 2956 about Cognelin which I like immensely.

It's rather provoking that nothing is 1909 3047 2 or 3 American missionaries from the Kharput College 1907 1863 nice little American woman from the American College in C'ple, a 1905 367 was shown all over the College. They have a little museum in which 1910 38 invites was a charming Italian soldier called Colonel 1910 844 Market Place, Richmond; he is Colonel, and will you say a SMALL shoot 1907 880 Colossae tomorrow morning and so to Dineir. Ever your 1907 2655 in someone else's home, appeared at the Colrina palace just in time 1909 3302 Sunday June 20. The Comana expedition proved very interesting in more 1909 3282 first Pagan and then Xian, near at hand - Comana in the mountains to 1909 3320 rode down into Comana, ten minutes or so away. Comnana was sacred to 1911 2817 You will remember about the lions, the Commandant 1911 2776 from C'ple that orders had been sent to the Commandant 1905 1656 the afternoon I got permission of the Commandant (after an endless 1911 3008 Commandant came over to call on me and told me that Mr 1907 953 the Commandant came to call. There he was, all in his blue co 1905 1509 2 letters for people here - the Consul and the Commandant of the 1905 720 and her husband is Commandant of the Citadel at Cairo. When I arrived 1911 423 man); the Commandant of Damascus has talked to me to me of the 1911 2279 of coffee with the Commandant. After I had done my work we paraded 1910 583 the Burgomaster, in everning dress, the Commandant, in uniform, and 1909 1541 to the Commander in Chief, a delightful old rogue of a Turk, and 1911 1102 except that the Commissaire Effendi (whatever that post may be) paid 1907 1555 use to us. One of the great difficulties of the Commissariat 1905 1806 The Commissioner of Police came to see me early in the mornin 1909 3387 there. He was a charming man, a member of the Committee 1911 1575 forever. He has bitter enemies in C'ple; the Committee are 1909 201 which all the Committee belongs. Accordingly I went about 9.30, drove 1909 195 come and see me. The Committee here consists of some 300 members, out 1909 3109 orders form C'ple. That looks as if the Salonica Committee knew that 1909 2109 and the Committee of U and P have saved Turkey a second time. So 1909 193 me in touch with one of the members of the local Committee of Union and Progress 1909 3569 is a member of the Committee. He is one of my many friends in exile 1909 3574 exactly the point of view of the Committee. Hugh Poynter came to see 1909 2998 Today a member of the Committee, who is an old friend of mine, is 1909 1981 news from C'ple to which he answered that the Committee's 1909 3465 Father's account of the Congress. To me in the midst of a simple 1910 22 interesting problems with regard to the Emperor Constantine finally 1910 430 still alive when Constantine reversed the policy of his whole reign by 1910 18 together to see the Arch of Constantine, after which she took me to 1905 693 red hills and I rejoiced again at the sight of Constantine's 1905 1584 Constantine's - left my shoes at the door with a friendly 1905 3382 Constantinian times. There is a lower town down at the 1907 2551 aren't you? So different from my habits in Constantinople 1907 2320 important place in the Christian world. Rome and Constantinople 1909 2832 Union and Progress intercepted a telegram from Constantinople 1911 2251 speak: some fresh from a German schooling in Constantinople and some 1911 1765 Abdul Hamid for 13 years, first in Constantinople and then in 1907 1676 from Constantinople that he is not to interfere with us and to 1911 43 Constantinople Jew and his wife who comes from Australia 1907 2464 Constantinople July 26 (1907) Beloved Father, I arrived 1907 2509 Constantinople Pera Palace Thursday (July 1907) Dearest 1911 3098 Constantinople Saturday June 5 (1911) Dearest Father, I Constantinople SEE ALSO C'ple 1909 2964 Constantinople Wednesday 7 (July 1909) Dearest Mother, 1911 3088 June 1. Constantinople. I arrived last night and found a letter 1910 667 for 2 years commander of the stationnaire at Constantinople, so we 1909 549 that we sent to Constantinople?" But to explain the whole duty of a 1909 91 Turkish Constitution will work so well that ultimately we can han 1909 733 Constitution. It is most extraordinary how openly even th 1909 2140 But it always was, not only under the Constitution. So this morning I 1909 3016 Did you like my piece about the Desert under the Constitution? I 1909 192 about the evening I have just spent. I asked the Consul 1909 2131 ladies. On Sunday we lunched with the German Consul and 1905 2473 The Consul and his wife are very friendly and as usual I 1905 3507 the train and came back to Konia. The Consul and his wife met me at 1905 1509 I had 2 letters for people here - the Consul and the Commandant of the 1911 1492 Consul at Basrah. I got a Times yesterday which had 1905 1544 borrowed their maps, and when the Consul had gone, we 5 sat on and 1909 3090 prevaricates, declares that the Consul misunderstood him, that 1909 1899 (I've not been higher than Consul up to now) and 2 men with monkeys who 1905 717 write my final letters. I dine with the Russian Consul when I get 1905 3149 Consul, a very amiable Greek, and he directed me to the 1905 238 doctor to Mr Drummond Hay, the Consul, asking him to let me have a 1905 1513 Domnul, who gave me the letter to the Consul, that I tried to see him 1905 1541 archaeologists and took the Consul, Mr Richards, with me-he happened 1905 1958 Aleppo and await your reply - address to the Consulate 1909 3055 are dogs, as we say here; they all blocked the Consulate 1909 1579 Consulate - H.M.'s BRITISH Vice Consulate! as if he kept 1911 2839 comfortable and happy in the Consulate all by muself! Altogether I am 1911 3030 Consulate and left a card (Mr Fontana was out) and then 1907 559 took refuge at the Consulate and old Cumberbatch protected him and we 1909 144 year. So I went joyfully to the Consulate and stayed there 2 days 1909 1438 that means letters are now to be sent to the Consulate at 1909 1425 prepared to put me up. The Consulate is a palace. It stands by the 1905 536 morning and rushed to the Consulate to get my letters. Yours of the 1905 3276 went straight to the German Consulate to get my letters. I found a 1911 155 and I went up to the Consulate to lunch. And there was a telegram 1909 142 Consulate with a letter from Mr Cumberbatch asking me to 1905 121 for 3 weeks beginning from next week, British Consulate Damascus for 1905 639 British Consulate Damascus, then till March 16 to the British 1909 1578 important Consulate General in Asia, described as H.M.'s British 1905 120 Smith and Sons the following addresses - British Consulate Jerusalem 1905 2776 will you write to British Consulate Smyrna and ...... I expect to be 1911 2723 2 years' ago, who has put me up at the Consulate. It's 1909 1520 Consulate, to which I replied gaily that I would bring Co 1905 640 Consulate, Aleppo, and after that I think my next address 1905 641 German Consulate, Konia, Asia Minor, until further notice. Will 1909 3732 you think of the North Pole? I don't believe in Cook but 1905 353 a day more than Cook pays them and 2 francs a day cheaper than I 1905 354 get them through Cook. That's all very satisfactory. All this takes 1905 3193 to me at the Pera Palace, or better still to c/o Cook, and I will also 1907 2766 to go. I have made enquiries at Cook's and find that there are good 1911 3070 for I had left my boxes with the Cook's man at Beyrout and now 1909 61 years of study on the walls of its mosques - the Copt and the Arab 1909 3809 Magdalen gardens with a man who wrote a book on Coptic 1907 63 Coptic chapels which he is busy uncovering. There was a 1907 28 morning with Ernest Richmond, seeing Coptic churches - most pleasant 1909 2166 and their relationship with Coptic churches is close and very 1910 600 the museum, for I have identified a Coptic ivory and explained to 1909 95 and an hour by donkey - to see the great Coptic monastery Mr Quibell 1909 102 of Coptic work of the best period. Between the great 1909 2954 These two were records of Domitius Corbulo's expedition with the 3rd 1907 231 little red Corean cabinet by the left hand window in my sitting 1905 308 3 ...... basilica with great piers 2 rather poor Corinthian capitals 1905 2170 some tantalizing Corinthian capitals and a great bit of a column built 1911 2446 battered Corinthian capitals. No one knows to what building they 1911 2698 Coronation, if anyone invites me to see the procession, 1906 130 to Scotland tonight, so will you write to me to Corrom 1905 182 Corsica and Sardinia to look at all the morning. I read 1907 469 Corsica, he will be interested to hear, which I had 1910 721 work. I began with the church of S.S. Cosmo and Damiano where I 1910 100 dinner at Countess Lovatelli's last night and I met him also at 1907 447 Cox to lunch - quite nice. Elsa has stayed in her 1911 2997 Euphrates passages. Here Crassus passed over the river to his defeat 1906 47 Mrs Crawshay is a witty lady. Tear up the letter but keep Mr 1909 3540 not now settle down. The only rock ahead is the Cretan business; I do 1909 3011 bad, but a year's peace may allay it and if the Cretan matter 1905 1873 think the Canaanites were Cretans, or of the same stock. Dans le 1905 2478 you especially. I have a letter from Father from Crete 1905 710 of the Mediterranean with which Crete has made us familiar. On top of 1907 1033 in Crete, an island of which he thought highly. We took a 1905 1874 doute, Cretois, nowadays. The wind has dropped and peace reigns 1907 2692 Alderley Park Chelford Crewe Thursday (September 1907) Dearest Motehr 1910 444 Croatian, when I have to pull him up. He never stops 1908 40 haven't energy. Lord Cromer has sent me his commonplace book which he 1907 251 fine again in a day or two. Lady Cromer paid us a long call yesterday 1911 383 I am right! Lord Cromer wrote me the most charming letter of many 1909 1514 long time about our rule in Egypt and about Lord Cromer. He 1907 100 with profound admiration for Lord Cromer, but he said could not 1907 874 Cromer's resignation which fills me with sorrow and 1907 7 delightful having him. We dined with the Cromers - Lady C. Lady 1907 30 took us however to the Zoo and then we met the Cromers and Sir 1907 287 saw the Cromers this afternoon. There were very sympathetic 1907 8 only women so I sat on the other side of Lord [Cromer] 1909 1517 all the more brightly because the Lord's [i.e.Cromer] 1909 1515 and his like are furious with Lord [Cromer] for his chapter about the 1907 7 having him. We dined with the Cromers - Lady [Cromer] Lady 1905 27 Here is a nice note from Mr Crowe - tear it up when you have read it 1911 113 classical Arabic!) at the Cairo University, Mr Crowfoot is 1911 109 Moritz and Littmann and Mr Crowfoot. Dr Littmann is a delightful 1905 309 door, inlaid, which I suspect belongs to the Crusader 1905 1967 large as Windsor castle, but very nearly. It's Crusader - but I must 1905 307 which was once a Crusader and before that a Byzantine, church. It's a 1905 582 There are the remains of a beautiful Crusader church in it. Then I 1905 518 not a house in Acre older than 100 years. The Crusader fortifications 1905 2080 Crusader tower here on the top of the hill round which 1905 563 a great ruined Crusader Church, one corner of which has been built up 1905 2070 it which is very old, older than the Crusaders a great deal I should 1905 2040 feel any sympathy with the Crusaders. I think they did nothing but 1911 1466 Ctesiphon about which there has been some dispute and I 1911 1469 was said to be some difficulty in getting to Ctesiphon on account of 1909 1404 tomorrow. Ctesiphon was deeply interesting because of its 1909 1403 to see this afternoon. And after Ctesiphon Baghdad where I go 1909 1218 over the next expedition against Chosroes at Ctesiphon. The man next 1909 1126 I place it at the time of Ctesiphon, but I expect that it was built 1909 1402 Mesopotamia, and after Seleucia Ctesiphon, which I crossed the river 1905 1105 several Greek, one Cufic and one Nabataean - Lord knows what it means 1911 2939 saw were Cufic but I think it must go back to an earlier period 1905 1347 inscriptions, Nabataean, Greek, Cufic, and one in a babel which I did 1911 3067 letter from Mr Cumberbatch and by another man with a letter from Mr 1909 142 Consulate with a letter from Mr Cumberbatch asking me to stay with 1911 3068 Eady saying I had got my cabin.

It was a 1907 559 took refuge at the Consulate and old Cumberbatch protected him and we 1907 633 to Mrs Cumberbatch who can't speak a word of Turkish - that's so 1909 160 view of the state of affairs out there. The good Cumberbatches 1907 556 deal. Then I went to see the Cumberbatches and had a very long and 1907 623 the Cumberbatches and we went to call on the Vali - my Konia 1907 661 successful visit to Nif, the Cumberbatches and I. We drove off on 1907 588 Cumberbatches on an expedition into the mountains to see 1911 176 imagine. Now I'm going to lunch with the Cumberbatches, after which I 1907 634 them!

And 1905 411 From my camp. Nahr Dumer. January 20 (1905) Dearest Father, You see 1910 662 this time. I went to the Duomo and then climbed up to one of the 3 1910 432 mausoleum which is now the Duomo of Spalato. Two hundred years after 1909 1796 building, the tomb of an Imam at a place called Dur 1909 753 deserted city called Dura." I fancy he saw only these great towers on 1911 150 at Paris. He had been a curate somewhere in Durham and 1905 1186 Saturday 18. No, that place if off, for I find Dussaud went there and 1905 3599 when Dussaud, the Syrian traveller, came to see me and we had 1910 619 Dvorjak, and Herr Oberbaurath Biedermann. We were very 1910 461 that one was Professor Dvorjak, Strzygowski's colleague in Vienna and 1907 2594 to ask Lady B. unless you tell me that Madame d'E has 1911 3068 Eady saying I had got my cabin. Next morning Mr 1911 3034 while I was there a certain Mr Eady, Sir John Jackson's consulting 1905 384 and ends what a pleasure it was to be in the East 1909 62 Sassanian and Hellenistic foundations linking up East and 1910 291 I felt again as if I must be back in the East and half wondered why 1910 303 card. So we sat and talked of East and West with the completest 1907 2301 East as we do in the West 1905 1684 No one who does not know the East can realize how closely it all hangs 1905 837 2 miles to the East of it. We got in at 5.15 and pitched camp on the 1911 932 by the friendly Deleim to the East of us. "It is better" said 'Ali 1905 828 day. I love this East of Jordan country. We rode through wide 1907 536 my books and maps are contraband. Long may the East remain 1910 449 built, you take me? Suddenly the East steps in, bends the architraves 1911 2774 with the East than ever before. Now, I am waiting for 1905 405 I am packing up in that hope. But I know the East too well 1905 2281 knows what besides. Now think how Greece and the East were 1909 73 generation. Some day I hope the East will be strong again and develop 1905 2508 great blow to the kudos in the East. But we shall see when we get to 1911 319 Damascus: such a man is invaluable in the East. It interested me just 1910 382 would like to do it before I go back to the East. It's a bore, but 1905 382 from him. You see I'm deep in the gossip of the East! It's so 1909 112 each in his appointed place looking to the East, and on the stone 1905 314 aromatic stuffy smell of the East, at which I rejoice more than words 1905 388 always the epitome of the East, even in a half European town like 1905 619 know the East, prices will double all along his route. I shall 1909 64 when one is newly arrived in the East, when one is conscious of the 1905 2441 the American archaeologists came in from the East, you remember I met 1909 1124 I do, I myself shall learn more of Eastern art of hte 6th century by 1905 1673 to see dimly what the civilization of a great Eastern city 1907 2670 I have to go to Alderley because of Eddie and the other must drop out 1907 2475 Graz and spend a couple of days there. Also Eddie telegraphs me his 1907 2711 having stayed on 2 days because Eddie was so very anxious I should be 1907 2545 Today I lunched with Sir Edward and Mr Haldane - Willie T. told Sir 1911 1494 What a waste of a good life! Sir Edward will be very unhappy. I have 1911 2454 April 1911. There is a charming passage in Sir Edward Grey's book 1907 613 considerable role in AM.

Ever your affectionate 1909 1491 doubt. We are all right so far, thanks to Sir Edward. Well 1911 1541 Sir Edward! I wrote to him too. I am very much grieved on 1907 601 as far as I am concerned by 3 brothers, Herbert, Edward, and Richard 1909 3537 time to do so much. Your interviews with Sir Edwards and Sir E.C 1907 2545 Sir Edward and Mr Haldane - Willie T. told Sir [Edward] 1911 1102 except that the Commissaire Effendi (whatever that post may be) paid 1907 1015 decrepit soldier in the world was told off at Egerdir 1907 944 looking north towards the white mountains of Egerdir 1907 962 dullish 20 mile ride to Egerdir round the foot of the hills and over a 1907 965 and Egerdir village clinging to the slopes of the steep 1907 1037 Lake of Egerdir. Tehre was a place which Ramsay had begged me to 1907 99 simple one by the way.) He talked of the govt of Egypt 1909 2560 to see me. Perhaps you wonder why a monk from Egypt 1909 1723 of early stucco patterns of this kind, except in Egypt 1905 723 sort of lamp that the soldier people invented in Egypt and 1909 1514 talked a long time about our rule in Egypt and about Lord Cromer. He 1909 91 will work so well that ultimately we can hand Egypt back 1905 330 prosperous than it was, they hate us and want Egypt for the 1905 995 Egypt. Egypt is a sort of Promised Land - you have no idea 1905 329 he was a good sort, my friend. He says though Egypt is a thousand 1911 18 going to Egypt on this boat, but I don't think she will make a 1905 1526 from you dated Feb 15 and one from Elsa from Egypt so I feel 1905 1679 success of our government in Egypt to a great extent - that counts 1907 507 girl going to Egypt told me that the other berth had been taken for 1911 3046 worse than he was in Egypt when he was well kept under.

But the fellahin are beginnin 1905 2389 many sons he had. Eight; each of his 2 wives had borne his 4 sons and 1909 264 pottery fragments of any age. At 4 we got to El Bab and put up in the 1909 241 Monday February 15 (1909) El Bab. Dearest Mother. I left Aleppo this 1905 2302 - a misadventure. I sent my mules direct to El Barah 1905 2379 interesting. The Sheikh of El Barah and his son served me as guides 1905 2557 became black dark - I had a keen recollection of El Barah and was 1905 2376 Thurdsay 23.

As soon as we have finished here I 1907 824 me of [Elsa's] engagement. I don't know why it was delayed; it 1907 1780 being at [Elsa's] wedding.

After lunch he trotted off to the Embassy and Sybil and I 1907 2442 the Embassy asking for a special permit for him but it will 1911 150 at the Embassy at Paris. He had been a curate somewhere in 1907 2490 on carrying me off to Therapia with him - the Embassy is 1907 2467 the Embassy launch, two British naval officers and a kavass 1907 378 Springy whom the whole Embassy seems to love as he deserves 1909 2105 Embassy sees fit to telegraph, that Reshad is not 1910 151 post office without the help of the Embassy such is Italy! Mr Wyndham 1911 3121 Embassy where I met a ...... of people, with the result 1911 3109 Embassy where I shall see the Ambassador whom I have not 1910 718 Ex went off after dinner to play bridge at the Embassy with 1907 2524 the night at the Embassy.

I lunched with Mr Richards, and 1905 3287 sorts of things, but it must wait. The Emperor seems to have been 1905 74 about 3 months. He is in high favour with the Emperor who quotes 1905 3789 about him. He says the Emperor will never make peace on a defeat 1910 22 interesting problems with regard to the Emperor Constantine finally 1911 2499 and Mrs Emrichs - that is the arrangement they made. Mardin 1906 106 Then of course I should stay all the winter in England 1909 1681 The money will eventually, I trust be found in England 1911 378 provoking and I might as well have stayed in England 1905 865 we seldom have in England - and it was absolutely impossible to move 1905 659 before he leaves England and you will forward this to him. I shall 1911 2694 expect to reach Aleppo by the 28th and England by June 15th. I don't 1909 2110 for all the wise politicians in England who said that its work was 1909 2807 safer place to be in than England. But between ourselves, I'm just as 1905 1188 February day in England. I determined therefore not to move till 1907 795 leaves England. If I came back I would tell him that I should 1909 2128 as they are on the point of leaving for England. On Friday 1911 2069 murdering. Now it is as safe as England. The Hamawand have been 1909 3514 babies in England, poor dears 1907 108 call common sense and that's a thing every Englishman is born with, a 1907 60 introduced himself to the Englishman who is in charge there, a Mr 1909 1342 one knows of it, no one has seen it; the Englishman who went there 2 1907 618 people as Englishmen could scarcely know it, for indeed they are ha 1905 1456 all the Englishmen who have to deal with Australia hate the peopl 1905 3661 She is an Englishwoman and he a Mahratta (I think) but more English 1909 1375 Englishwoman, a certain Miss Halliwell.

With Ernest and Moritz 1909 1685 to say nothing of your friendship with Sir Ernest Cassel 1909 3537 much. Your interviews with Sir Edwards and Sir [Ernest Cassel]? 1909 76 to our great loss. I had sent a note to Ernest Richmond in the 1907 28 morning with Ernest Richmond, seeing Coptic churches - most pleasant 1907 336 see the Ernest Richmonds and found Oppenheim waiting for me 1911 2744 Muriel and Ernest's baby. I telegraphed to you about it not knowing 1907 908 soldier (as Mrs Ernie Pease's maid would fully expect) and rode into 1911 2267 reminiscent of classical reliefs: there was one Eros that might almost 1909 3152 Eskisheher, Old Malatia, two hours away from the new town 1907 42 Your affectionate daughter Gertrude. Ethel Herbert (Rodger) is in the 1905 1436 and Etna looked more beautiful than I have ever seen him 1909 10 and as we drew near Sicily, Etna was at his best and smoking half 1909 2771 their name, she is a German and he nephew of the Eton master. She 1910 10 to Etruscan times, a heavenly duomo with a Lombard front, a 1908 3 is cominq next Saturday. Will you please send Eugenie 1910 33 Loraine. Nor was that all, for after dinner Eugenie 1910 200 to spend all my time working in the Forum. Then Eugenie 1911 447 your very affectionate daughter Gertrude Love to Eugenie 1911 98 probably have to be taken specially for me. Eugenie 1910 24 o'clock we met Eugenie and a charming Italian archaeologist called 1911 83 curator, Paribene, who took Eugenie and me round. It is part of some 1910 220 I will get the book for Father. Eugenie and I are much 1910 17 Eugenie and I, to console ourselves for my departure 1910 322 Delbruch and Eugenie might not be here in October and they both of 1910 720 home and talked to Eugenie till past 11. I had spent the morning at 1905 105 lunched with Diana and then went to see Eugenie whom I think I have 1910 61 stay on here another week with Eugenie. I have got a very nice room 1908 2 enclosed from Eugenie. I've said we should be delighted to see her 1911 78 The photograph does not I think exist. But Eugenie's 1910 196 much. Meantime I have borrowed Eugenie's and I spent Wed. morning in 1906 37 pounds for Eugenie's fund - his last subscription. I'm better but 1910 334 for lunch! I came back at 5 for Eugenie's lecture, a very good one 1910 154 Duchess, to Eugenie's mingled delight and despair - but not at the 1910 153 friend of Eugenie's) has arrived here - a nice woman. Also Louise 1909 2552 I don't doubt that the cell of St Eugenius is authentic; so here you 1909 2533 Eugenius who was a disciple of St Anthony and the rule he 1909 2541 climb with me into the cave-cell of St Eugenius, but he prepared me a 1909 2555 another monastery founded by a disciple of St Eugenius, not quite so 1909 307 cross the Euphrates - a great moment. We have just been discussing 1909 688 that joins the Euphrates a mile or so lower down. I am following in 1909 1301 a day's journey round to the north and cross the Euphrates above 1909 526 and most beautiful, bounded on one side by the Euphrates and 1909 726 pavement. So we rode down to the Euphrates and got into camp by 3 1911 1068 presently came in view of Euphrates and put up a thanksgiving at the 1909 523 grown. And then we came down to the Euphrates and rode across a long 1909 1327 to a delicious palm grove by the Euphrates and the house of the German 1909 421 whatever you may think of the Euphrates as a table river, your respect 1909 341 huge artificial mound. Along the fertile Euphrates bank there are 1909 946 Euphrates before the great invasion of Islam. But this is 1909 344 lunch with great content, watching the Euphrates flow between his high 1905 2498 uninterrupted by hill or tree - you can see the Euphrates from the 1909 3207 waters of the Euphrates from those that flow down to the 1909 445 began to shake their heads and eye the ruffled Euphrates gloomily. In 1909 3139 was wonderfully beautiful, though too long. The Euphrates is 1909 682 part of the Euphrates is as Xenophon says exceedingly boring. He does 1911 1399 The Euphrates is beginning to rise and the path along the ban 1909 566 Tuesday February 23. This bank of the Euphrates is in many parts 1909 417 Euphrates is much esteemed by the inhabitants of the rive 1911 1075 ears and the Euphrates lying big and calm under the sunset. There is 1909 756 had laind in the low ground below. The Euphrates occasionally floods 1909 700 Arabs swimming across the Euphrates on inflated skins just exactly 1911 2997 Euphrates passages. Here Crassus passed over the river to 1909 729 unparalleled dulness. the Euphrates rises about once every 20 or 30 1909 368 Tell and above the village. The broad Euphrates sweeps slowly past 1910 50 for me I am so busy with the Euphrates that I have not time to think 1911 505 seven merchants who are going across to the Euphrates to buy 1909 1106 levels from the Euphrates to Shetate. He is camped a mile or so away 1909 763 ruined town, I shall have to suppose that the Euphrates twice 1909 512 Also there was a wonder view over the wide Euphrates valley to the W 1911 1120 for I had made Fattuh fill a skin with Euphrates water 1909 2934 fertile plain at our feet and the Euphrates winding its way to the 1911 1428 and surveyed the dusty plain and the Euphrates with its lagoons and 1911 1081 Euphrates. All the palm trees have been killed by the sno 1909 407 Euphrates. I don't care much what the weather does for I 1909 3117 the Euphrates. In the afternoon Fattuh and I were riding on 1909 479 Euphrates. It is one of the most splendid sites I have 1911 1384 Euphrates. It was one of the first of the great cities 1909 248 expect to find any on the other side of the Euphrates. One of my 1905 834 Euphrates. The first few miles of it are all under corn. 1909 311 Euphrates." And indeed the river is apt to stand upon its 1909 329 Euphrates! a noble stream, as wide here as the Thames at 1909 426 Euphrates; in these parts he runs through your mind as 1909 1645 It's a splendid river and quite as big as the Euphrates, and today it 1905 2283 Euphrates, builds a city on the Orontes and calls it afte 1911 3003 Euphrates, for we have crossed and are now in Syria again 1909 3138 We had a very beautiful camp by the Euphrates, indeed the whole day's 1907 1376 this morning. He rode off on a donkey to Arik Euren and I hope we 1907 1136 way to Kyzyl Euren where I now am. I had always been told by the 1907 1348 from the Mudir of Arik Euren. Please keep it for me - it's a curio 1909 2951 enthusiasm. One almost feels as if one is in Europe again as one 1911 2534 no other place to put it. No one in Europe can realize what a 1905 326 travel in Europe every summer, spend thousands on jewels. It's a 1907 1175 traffic from Europe to Asia and Asia to Europe for many many 1905 2835 and another. It's enough that you should be a European 1911 1880 I had to see to my caravan, up came a party in European 1911 2876 large, during their absence. She wore a long European 1905 2835 one European and another. It's enough that you should be a 1905 3439 travelled with a European before and learnt all the niceties of our 1905 1667 yellow turbans, my friend the poet in European dress and 1905 2818 where there is a European government. And as soon as they have saved 1911 2836 whereever I go in this country. The only European here is the French 1905 2443 realize I have not seen a European or heard a word of anything but 1905 1452 perfectly ridiculous of course, for European stokers cause endless 1905 388 always the epitome of the East, even in a half European town like 1911 1091 for the roughs were alarmed when they saw a European. But 1911 2549 a district which has I think bee visited by no European. The 1905 2197 auspices of a little half Europeanised Syrian who is station master 1905 2824 American liquorice trust. He came to see me, Europeans 1911 344 Mr Dewey and various other Europeans - and a nice English officer who 1905 1184 I don't believe has been visited by Europeans and I'm going to try and 1905 468 English woman - the only Europeans here. It's a miserably poor 1911 2472 hour or so out of Nisibin I caught sight of 5 Europeans tents pitched 1909 3423 by one. Him they spared; Europeans were never hurt unless by 1911 256 with Europeans when one is talking to them. He said he had com 1905 2227 Europeans. "I said to him" he related to me "if you wish 1909 3842 lot of fielding, especially as no one except Mr Evans 1909 3811 for a little stroll, was immensely impressed. Mr Evans fetched 1909 3856 so long as it is as elastic as Mr Hogarth and Mr Evans make 1909 3845 certainly earned a sparkle crown. I do love Mr Evans. He has the 1909 3838 and I got back to Mr Evans' house in time for tea. We had a very 1909 3821 that we looked after dinner at Mr Evans's priceless collection of gold 1905 661 suggestions. Evelyn's letter really is unspeakable. What an 1911 2781 agreement in the Evening Times from documents abstracted from the 1905 1477 There is rather a nice old thing on board, a Mrs Ewart, who is a 1910 703 went to lunch with them yesterday and found his Ex 1910 700 Monday Rome (April 1910) Dearest Mother, His Ex has arrived and a 1910 718 too. His Ex went off after dinner to play bridge at the 1910 32 coming out. His Ex. was delighted, dear old thing. then I went to 1910 116 I have not yet got His Ex's rooms. It's an awful business because the 1910 611 for their Excellencies arrived and spent an hour eating ham in the 1910 597 date. I fear their Excellencies will join us there, but as their 1910 588 very middle their Excellencies' cab drove up and they all bundled in 1910 582 Excellency and Her Excellency and a little Miss Excellency 1910 582 was His Excellency and Her Excellency and a little Miss Excellency 1910 582 was His Excellency and Her Excellency and a little Miss Excellenc 1910 579 foot to say that His Excellency the Minister for Commerce was there 1905 394 dragoman to his Excellency. Mr D.Hay told him to be polite to me - 1905 1755 make my adieux to His Excellency, whom I found on his doorstep saying 1910 584 His Excellency's suite amphibiously attired - they had just 1909 1380 garden, a tiny corner of the courtyard of the Expeditionhaus 1909 1389 Expeditionhaus have his name stamped upon them: I felt it 1909 1948 down the roof of the Expeditionhaus, the little moon shone upon the 1909 1332 a beautiful room in a separate wing of the Expeditionshause and my 1909 703 Khabur(which by the way is Ezekiel's river Chebar) for the boat was so 1911 1417 like a lady. At Kifil is the tomb of the Prophet Ezra; it is a great 1905 1262 We rode off with one of the nephews as a guide, Fa'is 1905 1277 Druzes, my friend Fa'is, his brother Ghishghash who is sheikh of Umm 1905 1270 which is brother to Fa'is, I've just been dining with him, and 1907 628 Faik he settled an annuity on her. I don't wonder he 1907 624 Faik Pasha. Faik is not a remarkable person. He spends most of 1907 624 Faik Pasha. Faik is not a remarkable person. He 1907 2746 my fellow students - I think his name is Fairweather) met me at the 1905 2001 somebody in the Fairy Queen and almost expected to see written upon 1905 2746 by the Agha's jester, a fat old man like Falstaff in person 1909 1830 was entertaining a great sheikh, Hameidi Beg ibn Farhan 1909 1831 Farhan was the very famous sheikh of all the Shammar - 1905 2921 day in camp. In the course of the morning Faris, the missing 1905 805 Effendi Faris, the school master and the doctor all "honoured 1911 2738 you know. The splendid finds at Farkin consoled me a little, but I 1905 3681 As for Father he is behaving in a preposterous manner. He 1911 995 was still falling heavy, 'Abdullah, Father of Camels 1911 871 But when the others came up, the Father of Camels 1907 1261 bags to the Father of Donkeys. So we set about to look for a lodging 1907 1258 Fattuh speaks of as the Father of Donkeys, and I know no other name 1905 3685 what I am going to do. If Father would like I would try to get two people to 1906 109 yesterday. He congratulated me warmly on Father's 1909 3465 Father's account of the Congress. To me in the midst of a 1910 222 comments on your talents and Father's charm reach to ecstacy 1907 220 He said that Father's condition was perfectly sound and healthy except 1909 130 For Father's information, whenever it may reach him, I saw 1910 545 accept Father's kind invitation and go to Paris and Berlin in 1905 100 prosper. I read Father's letter to Aunt F. this morning 1905 126 glad to get Father's letter today and to see form your letter to Aunt 1905 88 ship. But I told him that Father's plans were quite vague 1907 485 and doesn't leave his Father's side. Yet he is older than the other 1907 1609 I'm very glad Father's speak was so good, please tell him. He is 1910 361 Father's telegram about Margaret, but she did not come to 1907 267 who brought in Tribe. Father's temp was 101. But Tribe said it was 1905 656 Elsa - yours the 20th and Fathers (a particularly fine lone one) the 1910 188 by him and we had a charming talk about the Fathers of the church. He 1907 1885 the hill. At the bottom we found a cart that Fattuh 1907 1231 to get the luggage cart onto dry ground again. Fattuh 1907 1393 run into a cornfield and the Father of corn, as Fattuh 1907 1914 on the plateau here but I don't love him. Fattuh 1907 1183 did my best to be patient and at 1.30 up came Fattuh 1909 2640 what was best to be done and I decided to send Fattuh 1909 2074 set out among the cornfields, for fantasia as Fattuh 1909 3127 he. "And the houses of thfe infidels?" shouted Fattuh 1909 854 gone well, thanks mostly to the foresight of Fattuh 1911 883 gave made a fire of what trees they could find. Fattuh 1911 1077 of a fully appointed camp. Praise be to God! as Fattuh 1911 182 'Abdullah was in prison on a charge of murder? Fattuh 1907 1103 is less good than the chicken of Tokmajik." Fattuh (with 1911 163 breakfast but Fattuh - large and smiling, I nearly fell upon his neck 1911 732 the wife in Baghdad?" "Effendim" said Fattuh "she must be exceedingly 1911 1049 'Abud!" shouted Fattuh "the caravan, our caravan, is it here 1911 2886 said Fattuh "these? their name is sossigio." We rode 1909 3130 alhamda 'lillah?" "Excellency" said Fattuh "those men were all happy 1911 865 camels came up. "My lady" said Fattuh "I do not think we shall reach 1911 997 sabkha, and even Fattuh admitted that tired and hungry as they 1909 446 made Hajj M. take himself and his horse out and Fattuh and 1911 2626 inscription (it was there). When I got back Fattuh and 1909 864 left behind! So Fattuh and a soldier rode back and found him straying 1909 2671 Next day the Chelabi and Fattuh and all the party rode off to Zakhuran 1911 2313 boiled water and made hot compresses for Fattuh and forced him to 1905 3180 name is Fattuh and he is to be general director of the 1909 239 daughter Gertrude. Fattuh and his wife send you many salaams 1911 949 to Muheiwir and to Khubbaz. So you can picture Fattuh and me 1909 245 setting out on his travels, 2 soldiers, Fattuh and me. I suppose no 1911 223 cold but bright with sun. I went out with Fattuh and my telephoto 1907 1991 Fattuh and the camels with the baggage came up to the 1907 2448 Fattuh and this is not much, as I should come on to 1911 2387 and papers went flying out into the universe, Fattuh and Abud 1907 2006 Fattuh and Haidar are making great preparations for 1909 987 alone they will raid you at pleasure. At last Fattuh and I 1911 476 Palmyra and Deir with 4 zaptiehs. This morning Fattuh and I 1911 1451 The rifle having been returned, we parted and Fattuh and I 1909 3303 ways than one. We set off yesterday morning, Fattuh and I and a 1909 1974 clear morning and very cold. Fattuh and I and a soldier set off at 1909 929 living tonight. We set off at 6.30, Fattuh and I and Hussein Oubashi 1911 965 camped beneath the walls where Fattuh and I camped 2 years ago. It 1911 1471 which Fattuh and I could cross the river. As I wanted the 1911 1318 road since I left Damascus? Fattuh and I feel some satisfaction when 1911 1481 been swept away by the floods, so Fattuh and I having left our horses 1911 729 Fattuh and I know much more about the pitching of our 1911 982 were informed of the change of plan and Fattuh and I rode on in 1907 2401 morning and Fattuh and I started off with the baggage at 5.15 in 1909 3349 it was full of bugs. Fattuh and I took counsel and decided that I 1909 882 hills. It was more than I could bear and Fattuh and I went back and 1911 862 the second of the valleys el 'Ud. By this time Fattuh and I were 1909 3117 the Euphrates. In the afternoon Fattuh and I were riding on together 1909 2757 However, there it is, and Fattuh and I will know better in future 1909 273 room into which I have put my camp furniture. Fattuh and Jusef are 1911 3075 Fattuh and Zekiyyeh stayed on board till the last 1911 2882 murmured Fattuh as we rode away. "She is a man!" I must 1907 1147 and I had a pain, due to indigestion. Fattuh ascribed my pain and his 1911 1010 there was no other. I took Fattuh aside - or rather outside, for 1911 1697 left me than my zaptiehs and Fattuh began to talk. Never, said 1909 2661 the stony paths with 20 armed men behind him and Fattuh by his 1909 2051 Fattuh called out "Whither going?" "To Mosul" they said 1911 538 before dawn Fattuh called to me and asked whether I was cold. I 1909 2673 among the hills and in the evening Fattuh came back and said that 1909 1827 equally. At last Fattuh came over with the baggage animals and we 1911 1856 But I was too busy to listen much. At 5.30 Fattuh came to 1909 1617 no rooms, only stables. Fattuh cast an eagle eye round and spyed - 1909 922 enclosed roof in front of it on which Fattuh cooks and proposes to 1911 545 nothing had come to harm. At dawn Fattuh dragged out the 1907 2153 professed to know all the ruins round about, so Fattuh engaged him as 1909 899 and Fattuh engaged in negotiations with regard to our 1911 1120 indifferent, for I had made Fattuh fill a skin with Euphrates water 1909 956 Fattuh had a shot at them with my rifle. A very good 1911 2342 mountain stream. Fattuh had called in the services of a native 1909 2653 Meantime Fattuh had gone and I had nothing to do but to wait for 1911 880 the darkness Fattuh had my tent up before you could wink while I 1911 741 this morning: Fattuh had poured all the hot water into the teapot and 1909 256 being on the road again. Fattuh had some things to do in the bazaar 1909 1621 and in a moment Fattuh had swept it out and put all my camp furniture 1909 3122 immense train of camels. Fattuh haled one of the camel drivers and 1911 535 I woke from time to time and heard the good Fattuh hammering in 1909 949 This equipment is all that the soul can desire. Fattuh has 1907 975 moon has not yet risen. Fattuh has gone to look for horses and I am 1911 629 boots Fattuh has tea ready. My companions scatter over the 1909 3355 among the bugs. Fattuh hurried back to make me tea - They hadn't come 1911 1001 are shameless!" said Fattuh indignantly) and conducted into the 1911 3074 put Fattuh into his hands and to explain all about his 1907 1419 Kurds are the joy and admiration of all and Fattuh is already the 1911 480 is stabled at my door and over the way Fattuh is cooking my 1907 1559 than once. so Fattuh is going to Karaman tomorrow to buy another 1907 2431 incident that has arisen. I must tell you Fattuh is ill. He gave his 1907 2526 boy. And on Friday I go to Graz. Meantime Fattuh is rapidly 1909 1151 felt some misgivings about the enterprize, but Fattuh is so capable 1909 1604 had. Fattuh is well known there and they had been asked out 1911 1012 troublesome." Fattuh knitted his brows and without a word strode 1907 1160 soup that Fattuh makes out of the Lord knows what and went to bed 1911 3062 for Fattuh may have to stay and be treated in Beyrout and 1911 1017 listened to the talk and prayed that Fattuh might find some means of 1909 1320 Fattuh of various adventures and experiences when 1911 1227 over the ground and stole a tent peg and knocked Fattuh on 1907 1530 liberal. Fattuh put down the rebellion. He refused every demand 1909 1240 I could hear Fattuh putting the muleteers as outposts round the camp 1907 2478 will be formed better. All now depends on Fattuh really and whether 1911 891 I heard before I went to sleep was the good Fattuh reasoning 1907 1343 died in the cold winter they have had. Fattuh rode out to a village 3 1911 1024 carried our diminished loads, Fattuh rode the donkey (it was so small 1911 952 knew to be the postman, a little to the south, Fattuh rode up 1909 492 At this Fattuh rose up in wrath and ejected half of them and we 1909 2038 more. We all looked at each other doubtfully. Fattuh said 1909 2045 Fattuh said "When did you leave Mosul?"

Fattuh salutes you, it is 1909 2213 tents once the season of fleas has begun. But Fattuh saved the 1911 3071 reentered into possession of them. Fattuh saw to all my luggage 1907 2304 understand, a great humourist. Fattuh says he is as good as a 1909 972 as Fattuh says, God is merciful 1911 446 Fattuh sends you a 100000 salaams 1911 1911 drawing, measuring and photographing except when Fattuh sent or 1909 3232 left Fattuh shopping in the bazaar and rode up to the Konak 1905 3464 finally run to earth in a tomb where Fattuh shot it with my gun! It 1911 1997 Fattuh sitting on his head and one of the muleteers on 1909 2883 soldiers and Fattuh slipping cartridge into their guns and then I 1907 1258 Fattuh speaks of as the Father of Donkeys, and I know 1905 3184 fortnight.

Here Fattuh stopped to wait for the cart and I 1909 1067 my camels with Fattuh straight into Shetata, 5 hours off, and myself 1911 1225 lifelike representation of robbery and murder, Fattuh taking the part 1909 1138 this way: when I came in to tea yesterday I told Fattuh that I must 1907 1948 through at all. Fattuh thought the Kaimakam zift too, but I found him 1907 907 leaving Fattuh to bring the camp by the straight road, I took a 1909 576 day to them. So I sent Abbas down to tell Fattuh to camp by the river 1907 1226 washed room. There was a room next it for Fattuh to cook in and a 1910 292 Jusef was not there to carry my camera and Fattuh to hold my measuring 1907 1275 and Fattuh to hold the measuring tape. The 2 churches were 1911 1868 down into the town telling Fattuh to pack up and follow me. On the 1911 2497 a mission here, had told Fattuh to put up no tents as I must stay with 1907 1187 Fattuh to rest for an hour and rode on down the flat 1907 1181 sent by Fattuh to say that the cart had stuck in the mud and he 1911 156 from Fattuh to say that the line had been blocked by snow 1909 3528 last muleteer and take only the faithful Fattuh to the Kara Dagh where 1909 2725 sent the camp into Midyat and went off with Fattuh to Zakhuran, to 1907 2268 because he knew the hills. Fattuh told me he was in great trouble 1909 2065 mountains behind, we all began to talk and Fattuh told tales of the 1909 868 Fattuh took the law into his own hands, raided the Arab 1911 2317 drawn from standing rain pools. Next morning Fattuh was a little 1911 1404 found that half my caravan had crossed - Fattuh was busy putting up 1909 3170 foot of wild hills. While Fattuh was changing zaptiehs and buying 1911 2299 was rather disturbed because Fattuh was ill. He has from time to time 1909 2712 was too big and besides I had gone too far. Fattuh was just as 1907 2271 expect she will end by marrying her Mohammadan. Fattuh was of 1911 2302 journey next day. Fattuh was very ill and we had a march of 1909 749 Fattuh went across to buy corn and get an excort for 1909 908 Fattuh went and saw the Mudir of the town and the Mudir 1907 1113 Kaimakam - I must tell you about the Kaimakam. Fattuh went down into 1911 459 an old song at Hit. Next day Fattuh went down into the bazaar and 1911 1085 (which we take tomorrow) and Fattuh went off into the town to buy corn 1909 140 at dawn and had an enthusiastic welcome from Fattuh who 1911 1212 friends over to Fattuh who entertained them in the proper manner with 1907 533 Fattuh whom I was delighted to see again, so between 1909 3435 Fattuh will do in 2 days or perhaps one. Then I shall 1909 563 in the world would have induced him to sell her. Fattuh wished me to 1909 871 our own selves. It's a miserable little donkey; Fattuh wishes it 1907 1221 of furious dogs set upon me and next I saw Fattuh with a group of 1909 994 handsome creature "This Sheikh" says Fattuh with approbation "is a 1911 3059 Fattuh with me for I was determined that he should see 1911 2308 I began to wonder whether Fattuh would get through the day. He 1907 1232 solved it with his usual energy - Fattuh would have been a prime 1907 923 it was half full of snow. "Nassl" players as Fattuh would say, whose 1911 1153 I.

"Nothing" said they 1909 2070 "That is what they desire in Aleppo" said Fattuh. "They do not wish 1911 1194 Fattuh. "Wallahi our women do nothing but keep quiet" 1909 2052 your business?" said Fattuh. "We heard the sound of the cannon" they 1911 2883 relate to you another silly talk with Fattuh. He made for me in 1911 541 Fattuh. Thereupon I lighted a candle and saw that it 1909 2057 towards us. "These have news" said Fattuh. We gave the salaam and I 1905 3372 furniture and some food and Fattuh. We joined the horses on a blazing 1909 3129 Fattuh. When the camels had gone past I said: "Why did 1907 2465 with Fattuh! the tale of my bringing him here amounts to an 1911 153 but no Fattuh! I was much disturbed and sent off a telegram to 1911 504 15, myself, the Sheikh, Fattuh, 'Ali and my four camel men, and the 1909 1245 hurried past us, all armed in some fashion, and Fattuh, all 1905 3444 killing snakes. And then Fattuh, bless him! the best servant I have 1911 1698 Fattuh, had he seen such goings on; crowds, shouting 1909 2716 and I was doing no good, whereas if I left Fattuh, he would be 1907 864 smoking muleteers could have kept me awake.

He married the other day a daughter of Fayyad;s house, a 1905 1704 Palmyra. Now I cannot say I really like Fayyad, though he was 1905 1041 of the Muhammadan year, the Feast of Sacrifice.

I have 1911 3116 Hamdi Bey's widow, who received us with the greatest 1909 3839 pleasant evening without Hamdi, all the more because we felt that our 1909 3810 Oxford was looking exquisitely lovely and Hamdi, whom we 1907 1680 I must also lay myself at the feet of the good Hamdy 1907 2471 I shall have to be a few days here as I must see Hamdy 1907 1584 very nice boy. Hamdy wrote me a most polite letter, which was 1907 1678 he and Hamdy Beg have stood by us like men. Ferid has sent me 1909 3450 conditions and I want to see Ferid Pasha and Hamdy Bey and others.

His overthrow was the first act of the 1909 3040 Hamid. Next came the American consul who acts for us 1909 2834 was on April 19; it was, as I believe, Abdul Hamid's last 1909 3159 Hamid's, a huge breeding farm that looks like a fort 1905 3623 The party is the Roberts family, Sir Bruce Hamilton (Mrs 1905 3634 touching.

There are the remains of a great 1909 644 that the castle was built by the successor of Harun er Rashid. Then 1909 1495 like Harun er Rashid, only my adventures were by daylight 1910 270 dullish - but I was very glad to see the good Haseloff and 1910 274 do a little .... sight seeing in the town, Haseloff and I took a 1910 171 to motor to Tivoli with Mme de Filippi, Dr Haseloff and Mr Richmond 1910 21 with us Haseloff and Sir F.

He showed me 1910 282 expect that is the explanation of it all. Haseloff's lady friends 1910 209 Now I am going to a lecture of Haseloff's on the Medieval Forum - I 1911 2600 until it turned into the rock cut bazaar of Hasn Keif - 1911 2684 language to their trying to talk mine. At Hasn Keif I was much 1911 2622 fair record of Hasn Keif, thanks to the Tigris. On the afternoon 1905 2312 Khirbet Hass and fastened it onto my saddle, it had dropped 1905 2307 particularly wanted to see, Khirbet Hass. It was a splendid place 1907 2395 you see every now and then the beautiful head of Hassan 1907 2369 its high dome backed by the yet higher dome of Hassan 1911 1290 the Nejef road. Here we parted from the Beni Hassan 1907 2241 said to be the grave of one Hassan - what Hassan is not related. I 1911 1250 flocks and tents of the Beni Hassan and we found some of the tribe 1911 1239 over to the Beni Hassan at the end of the day. We rode for 4 hours 1911 1258 till light faded and the camp fires of the Beni Hassan gleamed out red 1905 1058 Hauran, the tents of the Beni Hassan grew scarcer and scarcer, and 1907 2241 said to be the grave of one Hassan - what Hassan is not related. I 1909 1294 mosques but Mr Hassan sent a kavass with me and we climbed onto the 1911 2930 old head of the Circassians, Hassan Beg, sent a boy after me and it 1907 2212 valley of Sweetmeats, at the Northern foot of Hassan Dagh 1907 1773 He is very keen I should go for a .... to the Hassan Dagh 1907 2231 up in Halva Dere. We went up over 5000 ft (Hassan Dagh is over 8000 1907 2130 they should take us across to Hassan Dagh lest nameless evils should 1907 2219 Hassan Dagh streaked with snow. It was one of the most 1907 2275 and rode myself through the beautiful yailas of Hassan Dagh to a 1907 2220 sites I have ever seen. Hassan Dagh was so splendid from this side 1907 2136 that lie before Hassan Dagh. Here I left the others, it was about 1908 11 of the two marked respectively Kara Dagh and Hassan Dagh. I 1907 2418 Hassan Dagh. I'm glad it's done, but I am very glad I 1907 2141 very foot of Hassan Dagh. The mountain is a great double volcano 1905 1748 his presence. As we talked there came in Sheikh Hassan Naksh 1911 1326 Selman of the Beni Hassan. As we rode out across the desert he said 1909 1289 Agha Hassan. He is by birth an inhabitant of Peshawar and an 1909 907 enemies the Beni Hassan. However all turned out for the best, for 1911 1280 Beni Hassan. The map ws of course a perfect and absolute 1905 1010 then of the Beni Hassan. There was sorrow in the tents of the 1905 1028 the destitute of the Beni Hassan. They will go round to the rest of 1905 1011 children of Hassan. Yesterday a great ghazu, a raid, swept over 1907 1528 higher wages and Hassan, my beloved Hassan, stirred up the villagers 1907 1528 higher wages and Hassan, my beloved Hassan, stirred up the villagers 1909 2370 Friday May 14. I spent 2 days at Hassana. On the first I climbed up 1909 2363 rocky gorge by the tiny village of Hassana. They are Christians here 1907 2189 Hassandagh churches, but oh how I wish they were not now 1905 1038 Gablan is rather anxious, for the Daja and the Hassanieh are 1905 1021 Hassanieh. It's a heavenly evening and looking west from 1909 2493 castle of Hatem Tai which commands the gorge leading up from the 1911 2281 great satisfaction and to mine. The drawback of Hatra 1911 2225 treat with those sheikhs who could not come to Hatra 1911 2191 I carried a heavy heart over the high desert to Hatra -which is a 1911 2232 are handling matters here. The men whom I saw at Hatra had 1911 2245 at all) in close proximity to the tents. Hatra had been turned into a 1911 2208 palace at Hatra is the one building left out of all their cities 1911 2292 It was even more horrid, I thought, than the Hatra salt water, sticky 1911 2212 at Hatra were this year almost as exciting as the ancient 1911 2180 digging at Assur and from his work at Hatra. He put everything at my 1911 2328 gathering of the clan at Hatra. They were moving camp when I came up 1911 2192 long way. But one can't be heavy hearted at Hatra; it is too 1911 2220 to come in to Hatra, levied, in kind, the long unpaid taxes, settled 1911 2263 for the article. So I spent a day at Hatra, mainly in 1909 3662 Hatton Rudby today. It's fine again and I hope you are 1911 905 anywhere but in the Hauran and all the tents of the Deleim are 1905 2714 news of the Hauran and one of them insisted on guiding me on my 1911 857 Hauran while we struck out to join the big valley 1911 854 3 valleys called el 'Ud which all lead into the Hauran. After 7 hours 1910 778 was a Druze and he told me all the news of the Hauran. I 1905 1662 agent of the Druzes of the Hauran. I found there one of my visitors 1911 926 climb up out of the Wady Hauran. I was talking to Muhiyy ed Din when 1911 901 Hauran, and an hour more to Muheiwir and a couple of 1905 1058 Hauran, the tents of the Beni Hassan grew scarcer and 1911 847 a wide low plain - we were to reach the Wady Hauran, which is the 1911 337 the Hauran, Sami Pasha. He is an interesting man, talks 1905 2169 There are traces of a Roman Road from Hawaii to Masyaf, but except for 1905 344 bargain on the whole. Mr Drummond Hay is of the opinion that I've got 1905 301 manner - Drummond Hay is the son of Sir John Drummond Hay who was 1905 394 dragoman to his Excellency. Mr Drummond Hay told him to be polite to me - 1905 301 - Drummond Hay is the son of Sir John Drummond Hay who was 1905 285 Drummond Hay, or leave a card. Please tell Walter about the 1905 238 doctor to Mr Drummond Hay, the Consul, asking him to let me have a 1905 295 came in Mr Drummond Hay, very friendly and anxious to be useful. He 1905 98 his kind congratulations. I said it must be from Hayashi and 1905 371 wide minded people. I lunched with the Drummond Hays 1905 302 rather a distinguished man. Mrs [Drummond Hay] 1905 304 sent [Drummond Hay] (as they ought to have done, vide Mrs DH passim) 1905 97 Gertrude Domnul had a telegram from Hazashi while I was there thanking 1909 159 Consul, Mr Heard, who had just come from Diarbekr and took a very 1909 1444 about your play. I wish I could have met Sven Hedin at dinner, but 1907 447 - quite nice. Elsa has stayed in her room today. Hedley 1907 2724 be answered. It sounds the wildest success. Hedley has just appeared 1906 87 shall because I feel tired. Hedley is coming tomorrow morning so I'll 1906 97 I thought you would have news of me from Father. Hedley says 1906 38 Hedley says I still have a little bronchitis though 1907 2728 man. She's most enthusiastic Hedley says. It will be great fun to 1905 3795 up that I sent for Hedley who said I had probably had a touch of 1911 1927 time (of which as Heine says, they had 24 hours in every day) in 1910 757 Then I came in to grapple with a letter from Heinemann 1909 1875 mention that to Heinemann - nor to my bankers 1907 1301 translation is fairly good. I must write to Heinemann and ask him if 1911 361 By the way I told Heinemann to send a copy of my book to you. Did'nt 1910 793 I see Heinemann tomorrow morning (he is very complimentary and 1907 1684 magnificently illustrated. I wonder if Heinemann will do it for me 1909 3234 one who was half a negro. He was a native of the Hejaz 1911 428 have houses in the Hejaz and in Basrah and do a great trade with 1906 94 Lamonts and Lady Helen were both very congratulatory about Father 1905 3310 by the Empress Helena and judging from its architecture I should 1909 3749 immense relief to me, especially as the Hellenic Soc. want to me 1909 3322 orgiastic rites after the Semitic manner. In Hellenistic and 1909 62 working on Sassanian and Hellenistic foundations linking up East and 1909 3276 interesting, showing strong Hellenistic influences and altogether very 1910 659 know, is a type peculiar to the Levant coast, Hellenistic. So I was 1911 1747 which lies on either bank of the Helwan river. The storks had 1911 1833 Helwan, a straggling street climbing the hill side, the 1907 113 tea today. Sir A. Hemming was our fourth. Also Sir W. Garstin payed 1907 648 I'm sorry to see the death of Sir Augustus Hemming. We shan't be able 1907 290 finding it. The poor Hemmings, who are in this hotel, are terribly 1910 870 Henley, Mr H Otham (Elsa's man), George Lloyd, Oliver 1905 3734 Henry is dreadfully disappointed that Aunt B. is 1911 3122 dining with Sir Henry Babington Smith tomorrow, with the Ambassador on 1907 2550 Sir Henry C.B. hasn't sent for me yet - I'm a little 1907 42 Your affectionate daughter Gertrude. Ethel Herbert (Rodger) is in the 1910 880 If Herbert can't stay for the ball, Horace might fill up 1910 868 rate we should have Herbert for the beginning of the party. I suggest 1910 864 the 7th. I hope Herbert might be able to manage this, but if he 1907 619 orientals themselves. I stayed with the Herbert Whittalls last time I 1907 601 as far as I am concerned by 3 brothers, Herbert, Edward, and Richard 1910 860 and Herbert, I hope. But I don't think it is a good plan to 1911 1786 remembered Herbert's picture of me, so wonderfully exact was the 1910 867 Herbert's place with Mr Darwin or someone in the district 1907 664 From the top of the pass we could see into the Hermes 1905 1388 Druze mountains into the Damascus plain, with Hermon and the Anti 1907 697 Sesostris monument which Herodotus describes. It is carved in a niche 1910 619 Dvorjak, and Herr Oberbaurath Biedermann. We were very 1910 618 party there was Herr Professor Niemann and Herr Professor 1910 618 Salona party there was Herr Professor Niemann and Herr Professor 1909 1714 time showing up Herzfeld. He deserves it however. I have had great 1910 812 spent 4 hours this morning with Herzfeld, looking over and discussing 1910 806 Mother, Yesterday morning I saw all Herzfeld's photographs of Samarra 1909 1663 Herzfeld's plan, except as to the general outlines, is th 1909 1709 all Herzfeld's work has had to be redone and I have been at i 1911 552 afternoon 7 Arabs of the Heseneh rode in in a furious sleet 1905 3708 WE ARE SO DELIGHTED about Hester! Why won't she come? What a nice 1911 45 Heuriez who was French Consul at Mosul when I was there 1910 75 darlings both of them. Robert Hickens turned up at my lecture this 1910 106 amusing tea party at the Grand Hotel with Mr Hickens. The party was 1909 296 where they would go. So we came in sight of Hierapolis and followed 1911 2962 Hierapolis it goes back into the dimmest mists of Orienta 1909 322 find that when Julian passed through Hierapolis on his way to his 1907 877 morning at Hierapolis where there are very extraordinary sulphur 1905 3007 Budrum, which is Hierapolis Castabals, and here I spent 3 hours. It 1909 280 which is Hierapolis. He was most intelligent and agreeable and 1910 726 but they paid no attention to me and when High 1905 707 The Semitic town has 2 great walls and a High Place 1907 1643 the High Place we are going to take casts so as to have 1905 705 High Place with most curious sacrificial 1907 1639 of the mountain. It began with my Hittite High Place; then 1905 3690 Thursday Highfield Chapel Allerton Leeds. (1905?) Dearest Mother 1909 207 Hikmet and Ismail Bey (the second of the 7) and various 1909 194 and Progress. He accordingly asked a certain Hikmet Bey to 1909 198 happened to know the names of 2 and Hikmet Bey was one of them. So he 1909 3508 goes on like this. I am distressed to hear about Hilda and also 1909 571 and Muhammad ibn Hillal. At the first site we came to there were cut 1909 1318 canals and into the Hille - Baghdad road where we were high and dry at 1911 1580 Na'muk Bey (you remember he is Kaimmakam at Hilleh and he gave me back 1911 1430 a strange and ugly world; and then I rode on to Hilleh, meeting my 1911 345 Arabic, among them, and a young man called Hillelson who 1910 339 outing. We went up into the Albane Hills and saw some villas near 1910 342 that strides across a valley in the Sabine Hills. It was 1909 3552 Hilmi Pasha, came to lunch, a very agreeable 1907 1583 to Professor Hilprecht, a great friend and ally of Hamdy's. He is a 1909 1299 At Kerbela we had bad news of the road. The Hindiyyeh 1911 1296 to the east the line of palm trees that mark the Hindiyyeh canal and 1911 1643 possible impediment in his way. However the Hindiyyeh dam is set 1909 1310 the Hindiyyeh into the river bed is the first work that Sir W 1909 1305 the waters come down from the north. The Hindiyyeh is above the level 1905 3727 tomorrow morning. I had my first Hindustani lesson this morning - a 1911 1382 which mark the site of the preMohammadan city of Hirah and the 1905 482 stones - the tomb of Hiram it is called, and whether it is his or not 1909 3680 I think that's better than Mt G. as His Ex will get his 1907 2469 His Ex. today so I shall have the opportunity of 1907 2708 yesterday to see Irene V. and Alexander play His House in Order, a 1909 898 (1909) Dearest Mother, I spent all yesterday at Hit 1911 1065 25 Ramadi. Dearest Mother, We did not leave Hit 1911 466 another scheme. The old Sheikh of Kubeisa near Hit (you know the place) was in 1911 996 declared that his beasts could not go on to Hit across a road all 1911 1067 a zaptieh over the sandy wastes that surround Hit and 1911 1032 some low hills, there was the great mound of Hit and its 1911 954 through Hit in the night and could give us no news. All the 1911 1507 about my arrival at Hit only reached you a day or two ago. Mr L. was 1911 1031 smoke of the Hit pitch fires upon the horizon and when we had 1911 1083 Hit were scarcely to be recognised. It is a great 1911 985 Damascus was to wait for us at Hit. But before we reached 1909 916 Hit. I lunched with him and he dined with me and 1911 459 an old song at Hit. Next day Fattuh went down into the bazaar and 1911 1041 done. But it kept off till just as we reached Hit. The mound still 1911 1023 through the streets, and we turned our faces to Hit. The two camels 1911 357 fortnight later. Don't send letters to Hit! I telegraphed to you 1911 953 to him and asked if he had seen our caravan at Hit, but he had pased 1911 1045 travellers, Fattuh, the mare and I, came into Hit, wet and 1911 354 way of post offices, but when I get to Hit, I will send word to our 1911 981 push on to Hit, 3 and a half hours further. The baggage camels 1911 355 Baghdad and ask him to telegraph to you "Arrived Hit"; then 1907 1771 most exciting. Sir W. thinks it's a very early Hittite 1907 1606 the problem. The learned world is agog about my Hittite 1907 1405 and the short of it is that we think we have a Hittite 1907 1735 a modest way. We've been working all day at the Hittite 1909 2324 and others exactly like them in Anatolia Hittite 1909 318 Kadesh on the Orontes. Kadesh and Carchemish, Hittite capitals 1907 1717 outlying fort of the great Hittite city that must have been in this 1905 1885 and on it, but I could not pass by a Hittite city without saluting it 1909 386 and the legs and turned up shoes of a fine Hittite gentleman 1909 481 removed those Hittite inscribed stones we saw in the Museum - do you 1907 1815 Mahlech, the Hittite inscription place, a wonderful ride. It was one 1907 1652 Hittite inscription on it - who knows? We are getting so 1907 1385 looked at it he said "It's a Hittite inscription. This is the very 1907 1641 Sir W. has seen 3 Hittite inscriptions on an outlying spur of the 1907 1888 which Sir W. found the 3 Hittite inscriptions and the fort, and 1909 3849 over Hittite inscriptions and seals. The Museum has bought a 1909 378 engaged on Hittite inscriptions. My scholars did it excellently and 1905 1896 the day and the Hittite king which took place here and is recorded in 1907 1210 four Hittite kings, carved in massive stone, against a 1905 3503 if I had known the Hittite language I would have offered up a short 1909 390 had not seen and a mound with the head of a Hittite lion lying 1907 2452 Hittite monument and Christian sanctuary which have been 1911 2891 had told me he was going to excavate a Hittite mound here this spring 1907 708 pointed shoes. But whether they are Hittite of Phrygian I will leave 1907 1710 studied. We have found too a most wonderful Hittite place on the 1907 1215 the only track of the Hittite road; there is another at the foot of 1905 3482 one of the great sights of Asia Minor, the Hittite sculptures at 1909 3835 is digging a Hittite site. It was most delightful and most 1907 1748 it! Two great Hittite sites and a vast amount of unexpected Byzantine 1909 3852 long way towards reconstructing the Hittite stele at Tell Ahmar. It 1911 2892 The mound is here, Hittite stones and all complete, but no Oppenheim 1909 346 ferry. Then to work. There are some Hittite stones here of which Mr 1909 3148 to call on me. They told me of some Hittite stones in the Serai and 1909 376 but Hittite stones. At 8 we set to work; I taught some of 1909 3151 important Hittite town it must have been. And then I rode on to 1905 1893 for they are supposed to be sites of other Hittite towns. Tell Mandil 1907 1639 settlement of the mountain. It began with my Hittite High Place; then 1909 261 many artificial tells, Hittite I daresay, with modern mud villages 1909 473 later than Hittite I imagine- and sometimes you can see clearly the 1907 1769 early history, Hittite.

Maurice has asked him to come and stay with us 1910 30 up and we drove onto the Janiculum, whence the view was even more 1905 1233 Japan, for they are thrilled over the war, and 1905 2217 Christian feeling here. Everyone else is for Japan, govt and 1907 543 told me all this with a smiling face, like a Japanese 1905 80 says too that public opinion there is very hotly Japanese and won't 1905 1961 They are all wildly Japanese in this country 1905 3640 Japanese soldier.

The Jebel Sinjar 1911 2922 Jebel Tektek - it isn't really a mountain, not to 1909 2011 from the river. The Sheikh of the Jebur accompanied us and we 1909 2005 to speak. The Jebur Arabs were all ferrying across to the E side to 1911 235 Jedda before the marriage. So I would rather accept 1905 3143 stands on the wide Jehan Chai and tlere is a beautiful bridge, which 1905 3151 the Jehan Chai. And there I found - Mr Lloyd, Hugo's 1905 3338 of the Dervishes and the founder of the order, Jelal 1905 1072 towers and walls of Umm ej Jemal before us.

His property of Jerud, is an oasis out in the desert - I 1911 320 as much as it interested Jerudi and by the time we left I found that I 1911 315 an hour and a half. I doubt if Jerudi can read, but anyway Selim is 1905 1731 the lunch was preparing, Jerudi heard all the Druzes discussing in 1905 1706 rogue, I think; but Jerudi is of a different brand. He is an old man 1905 1714 to use Jerudis influence with the other and Jerudi the while seeking 1911 307 after my old friend Muhammad Pasha Jerudi. "Oh" said Tabit Beg "he 1905 1723 go next time I am in Damascus. I know my Jerudi. The foreigner has 1905 1702 Pasha Jerudi.

'Ain el Kantarah. Today we have had a full day's ride 1907 1526 not half through with the Kara D 1907 1313 round the Kara D today, a thing that was necessary so as to be 1907 1408 but the inscription on the top of the Kara D. is a 1907 1378 The church on the entrance point of the Kara D., at 1909 3444 tomorrow by train to Karaman and next day to the Kara Dagh 1905 3449 to Van and Baghdad. This morning I ascended Kara Dagh - 1907 1827 shhall go straight across to the Kara Dagh and it will all depend on 1908 11 contents of the two marked respectively Kara Dagh and Hassan Dagh. I 1909 3431 Kara Dagh in very light order for 3 days and so by train 1909 3528 and take only the faithful Fattuh to the Kara Dagh where 1905 3453 snow still on Kara Dagh with crocuses on the edges of them, and 1907 1618 ago. It is on a shoulder of the Kara Dagh 1000 ft about Madensheher 1909 1379 for the Kara Dagh 2 years ago. He spends his time cultivating 1905 3401 over the great plain and the slopes of Kara Dagh. I turned out the 1909 3378 to us for the last few days of our stay in the Kara Dagh, a 1909 3375 enough 2 years ago when I was in camp in the Kara Dagh, a 1905 3378 correct or no. It lies at the foot of the Kara Dagh, a great isolated 1907 1965 down to Taurus. As I was about to leave Karabunar an excitable little 1907 1915 emphatically pronounced Karabunar to be zift, pitch, and I find it 1907 2067 built into the houses or carried away to Karabunar. The Karajadagh 1907 1910 Today we rode over it again for 3 hours to Karabunar, a 1911 2150 put it in.

I ordered eggs and bread and curds 1907 1144 half hours we came to a dullish place called Karagash, it was once a 1907 1162 bed at least. There were no horses to be got at Karagash, no 1907 1664 book. The Rs are not coming to the Karaja Dagh and I am glad for it's 1907 1690 can see unless the Karaja Dagh keeps me a week longer than I expect 1907 2067 the houses or carried away to Karabunar. The Karajadagh 1907 1521 that's an end. I must go into the Karajadagh before I come home for 1907 1774 east of the Karajadagh before I leave - I think if I have energy I 1907 1980 Karajadagh is rather an adventure. No one has as yet 1907 2078 of the Karajadagh looking for ruins and inscriptions. The ruins 1907 2047 of the Karajadagh so I am content. No one has been here before - 1907 2417 from my camp, from the beginning of the Karajadagh to the end of 1907 1987 he took me into the extreme western end of the Karajadagh where on 1907 1846 They go to Konia and I straight across to the Karajadagh. I am 1907 1648 finished here I must go across to the Karajadagh. There are churches 1907 1911 small town lying at the foot of the Karajadagh. There lives ont he 1907 2128 than the Karajadagh, but as we had no other means of carrying our 1909 2160 for a couple of hours to a Xian village called Karakosh where 1909 3444 plans: I go tomorrow by train to Karaman and next day to the Kara Dagh 1905 3256 been so tired for a long time.

All the way from Selefke to Karaman there is only one 1907 1559 than once. so Fattuh is going to Karaman tomorrow to buy another 1905 3244 May 7. Karaman. I daresay it doesn't often occur to you to 1907 1395 Karaman. So we must wait till he comes back and we can 1909 3430 train to Karaman. There I shall hire a few horses and go up to 1907 1462 vengeance of the authorities in Karaman. We have just composed a 1907 1585 forwarded to me the Kaimakam of Karaman, and what with his backing 1907 1886 had hired in Karaman, into which we packed our things and so we set 1905 3217 barren country runs the road to Karaman, surely the most useless road 1907 2127 from Karapunar declared last night that they were going no 1907 1881 Karapunar June 30 (1907) Dearest Mother, Yesterday I took 1909 1791 of Samarra (this suburb was called Karkh) till we came to the place 1905 3023 inscriptions to be copied at Kars and a church to be photographed, so 1905 3015 through charming country to Kars Bazaar which lies under Taurus and 1905 1703 title - is me friend Fayyad Pasha Karyatein, who lives half way to 1909 2378 woods on the mountain sides all the morning with Kas Mattai and it was 1909 2373 Prot priest, Kas Mattai, and his brother Shim'an.

We got the name of the Khalif out of it so we 1909 1280 the battle of Kerbela by the first Abbasid Khalif.

They won't come says Miss Lord, because they remember the curse 1909 1517 anger burns all the more brightly because the Lord's [i.e.Cromer] 1911 3091 soon after I had arrived, and then Mr Lorimer (of Baghdad) who is 1911 3110 except just to exchange greetings. Mr Lorimer and I spent the 1911 1661 common friend asking me to come. After lunch Mr Lorimer and I steamed 1911 1566 (and Mr Lorimer confirmed) he had pulled down thousands of 1911 1568 Mr Lorimer knew well, for he is engaged in pressing the 1911 1694 left Baghdad early on Sunday morning, Mr Lorimer riding out with me an 1911 1593 I gather, and a row has thus been prevented.

Sir [Alfred Lyall] thought the latter, but I thought he was 1907 482 mainly due to the difference between the Lycee and 1907 483 Harrow and not to the credit of the Lycee. The French boy is 1907 480 He has with him his son, a shy and spectacled Lyceen - 1909 1558 and we met all the leading people of Baghdad - Lynch's people and so 1905 3625 of aides de camp.

If 1907 502 met Lady Ottoline Morrell on the boat with her husband who were very 1910 39 Morris (Father will perhaps remember meeting him at the 1907 2783 I rather think Morrison has gone back to China but I've written to 1905 83 Morrison's which emphatically deny all that James said to 1910 532 known Arabic epigraphist and a nephew of hte Moscheles 1907 2765 No, I shan't go to Miss Moses's meeting. I think it very good of you 1909 2738 Christian villages in the hills - Zakhuran is Moslem 1909 3120 impression. He passes for a Moslem all down to Baghdad and up to 1911 13 impression that it is early Moslem and he found a mihrab in the place 1909 2067 for a Moslem and he had passed through unharmed though the 1911 1806 Moslem and I told him how Mustafa Pasha's ladies never 1911 118 talked ceaselessly about the origins of Moslem art - interspersed with 1907 1389 never a shrine of Christian or Moslem but if you look long enough you 1907 2243 Christian or Moslem came to it, but of the old religions no trace 1911 1385 Moslem invaders. Outside it stands the great mosque, at 1911 2526 we visited a beautiful Moslem medreseh outside the town. Everything 1911 1908 period, for the Moslem palace is so closely related to the pre-Moslem 1909 2847 Diarbekr and on Mosul. The Moslem population has been roused by Abdul 1911 433 20 or 30 people there from every corner of the Moslem world. One 1911 2057 said one of my policemen (a Moslem) who gathered the gist of the 1909 3119 Moslem; he looks like one, and for good reasons he 1911 747 of former water storage - I should think Early Moslem, marking 1909 3080 Moslem, Xian and Jew in a village an hour or two away 1909 2839 and Moslems - each believing that the other means to murder 1909 3421 massacres began. The Moslems came and drove the children out into an 1909 3327 20 it was looted and burnt by some 5000 Moslems from the surrounding 1911 499 that in the Middle Ages the Moslems turned it into a fort - their 1909 3406 Moslems, and gathered at once.

We had come up 900 ft above Mosul and already the world was 1909 1893 left Tekrit with 3 or 4 Chaldaeans from about Mosul and as many Kurds 1905 859 35 I should think, a Christian, by origin from Mosul and he is 1909 2034 only 4 hours out of Mosul and it is always exciting to reach another 1909 1843 caravan that passes up and down from Tekrit to Mosul but pays them 1911 2133 to Baghdad or Mosul he lodges in the dervish tekkes there.

One 1909 2847 Diarbekr and on Mosul. The Moslem population has been roused by Abdul 1909 2138 and another I heard and saw a great deal in Mosul. There will be more 1909 2249 killed and others taken and sent prisoners to Mosul.) We rode for 2 1909 1969 But I shan't have any news till I reach Mosul; no one 1909 2796 got at Mosul, one your answer to my telegram and the other to 1909 3105 Mosul, where the Valis were men of the new order 1911 2101 I found that he was heading for Mosul, whereas I wanted to go to 1909 2045 Fattuh said "When did you leave Mosul?"

A week ago the chief Mufti of Kharput assembled the people 1909 3246 the Circassians are Muhajjar, Pilgrims. They came into this country a 1905 1701 - the second greatest brigand in all the land, Muhammad 1909 1086 the 3 men riding doubtfully towards us and Muhammad 1909 996 March 22. We took with us this morning Sheikh Muhammad 1909 1080 the barrel of his rifle where it usually lives. Muhammad 1911 775 we could not have reached this evening.

Then probably to Graz if Strzyg is 1911 115 plans, published by Strzyg. which sent Sir William and me there, and 1909 3453 Strzyg. That would bring me to London about the 18th. I 1907 2474 Strzygowski 1907 1788 I'm not at all sure I shall not go and see Strzygowski for a day or 1907 1660 for my part I have found Strzygowski out in half a dozen errors to say 1905 3381 for it is full of churches dating back, Strzygowski thinks, to pre 1909 1347 and it will make a flutter in the dovecots. Strzygowski will 1909 2988 Baker perhaps - so as not to be lonely. Strzygowski will be in 1909 1724 - Strzygowski will be wild with joy over them. Meantime I 1911 3090 night in Vienna to see Strzygowski. Mr Fitzmaurice came to see us 1905 3407 Strzygowski's book what was the nature of the architectur 1910 461 that one was Professor Dvorjak, Strzygowski's colleague in Vienna and 1909 1660 said his labours proved Strzyzowski to be all wrong.

The high born Arabs like the Sukhur won't intermarry 1905 914 between the Sherarat and the Sukhur; the 3 Sherarat had not known who 1905 916 our hosts, the Sukhur, had hastened our departure.

After a 1909 3077 Sultan fell, the anti Xian agitation went out like a 1909 294 once more and came to Bumbuj where the Sultan gave 1909 1970 cares a farthing here who is Sultan or who rules , and they might 1907 2411 on our journey today, a Seljuk Khan called Sultan Khan which 1907 1921 mosque which was built by Sultan Selim and is a respectable edifice 1909 734 criticise the Sultan.

We had a 1909 1639 is Saniyyeh, the personal property of the Sultan; he grabbed it 10 1909 92 to the Sultan, with a few safeguards; for that we shall never 1909 3072 carried it out. The news of the Sultan's abdication came on the 26th 1905 2126 man, cousin to one of the most important of the Sultan's advisers in 1911 3126 Sultan's chamberlain who has given me a much coveted 1909 3164 box that stood before the door of the Sultan's farm, and the sentries 1907 627 the Sultan's harem 1911 1057 it had been the Sultan's high road, and we have made many friends 1909 3595 the dirty pond on which the Sultan's ladies used to be rowed about by 1909 3166 Sultan's mare enjoyed.

Mark Sykes 1905 602 from Mr Dickson the Consul. He told me that Mark Sykes and his wife 1905 675 went off to Lord Sykes and lunched with him and heard a very good 1905 1193 a finger except to help me. I hear that Mark Sykes has 1905 674 from him that he had accompanied Lord Sykes into Asia Minor. So I 1905 1026 Mark Sykes is doing. 3 rather niffy ladies are sitting at 1905 685 very comfortable in a modest way. Not like Lord Sykes! He, by 1909 673 Arab called Khalaf, highly recommended by Mark Sykes, to 1905 687 I've seen a gre deal of the Sykeses and like them very much. I've 1906 121 Sykeses asked and I will write to them, trusting that 1906 118 Sykeses with them - well after all us, I don't suppose 1909 3649 by train. Elsa has gone to R'car today and Sylvia and I 1909 3635 Sylvia has just arrived for 2 nights. I am going with 1907 2717 her. Her children are darlings and so is Sylvia's baby who is here 1909 3476 and my return journey via Syracuse (what can he have meant?) I got a 1905 1507 thinking that I was rather a beast to come to Syria 1905 581 to be the most fanatical Muslim town in all Syria 1905 1860 some great fight in the Roman conquest of Syria 1911 305 very amusing companion. He told me the gossip of Syria 1911 3003 Euphrates, for we have crossed and are now in Syria again. Tomorrow I 1907 1451 dining tent. They have travelled much in Syria and are very 1911 137 got into camp. From what I hear all the rows in Syria are over 1905 1422 to place the whole of the organisation of Syria at my 1909 1023 Syria but there is no water in it but at this place - 1905 3144 Roman foundations, for the great Roman road to Syria came 1906 11 disgraced? I have news from Syria direct and I'm very sorry. I am 1905 997 is now a general exodus from Syria either there or to the Soudan and I 1911 289 concensus of opinion that Syria has never been so well policed before 1906 10 about maps. Do you see my friend the Governor of Syria is 1905 385 almost as part of it, to know it all as I know Syria now, to be able 1911 111 when he was with the Princeton expedition to Syria. He is 1905 2721 Syria. I arrived before my tents in this most 1905 225 Syria. It was a marvel of successful fraud. I must 1909 319 and both placed in the richest lands of all Syria. No doubt it 1911 374 known for 40 years in Syria. Now it is over and we are really 1905 1425 Person in Syria! Now I'll telegraph to you. Your affectionate 1907 1404 seen the same before in Syria, discovered that they were wine presses 1909 507 inscription of the year 74 AD - it is the oldest Syriac 1909 2478 little Arabic - mostly I'm up against Kurdish or Syriac here. The 1905 2632 I shall not forget the misery of copying a Syriac inscription in the 1909 507 Syriac inscription of the year 74 AD - it is the oldest 1905 2634 The devil take all Syriac inscriptions, they are so horribly difficult 1905 1808 him I wanted nothing. He was a charming man, a Syrian 1905 376 friend of mine here, a very intelligent little Syrian 1905 2366 of the charm of it all, or of the beauty of the Syrian 1911 689 wonderfully delicious; I think every day of the Syrian 1905 2568 and the eastern apse is the crowning glory of Syrian art 1905 2989 came to see me here is a Syrian bimbashi, a Damascene. He talked a 1910 451 brings even the plan of a Syrian camp on which to build the house of a 1905 319 Syrian colony in Alexandria. He talked last night 1911 1056 And so you see, we have crossed the Syrian desert as easily as if 1907 344 plans for exploring the Syrian desert together! Tell Hugo the gnome 1911 470 cross the Syrian desert without a guide and still the post did 1911 1145 when we crossed the Syrian desert, that we might lighten our camel 1909 810 Syrian desert, whenever I chose to come. He was of the 1905 2211 a charming Syrian doctor who had been educated at the American 1905 604 them half encamped and half in a Syrian house. They received me with 1907 769 my Syrian journeys. There one simply gets onto a horse and 1910 281 Syrian monk came to Spoleto and founded several 1905 577 monastery, which was inhabited by two Syrian monks. I went out to see 1905 318 There was a Syrian on board the boat who belonged to the wealthy 1907 1234 ignorant Syrian peasant. 1911 3015 undulating North Syrian plains for 11 and a half hours. It was rather 1909 156 about Syrian politics and if he doesn't think it worth 1906 174 Syrian tongue but we understand one another quite well 1905 3599 when Dussaud, the Syrian traveller, came to see me and we had a most 1905 3077 the churches here are not of the Syrian type, which they ought by 1905 2197 auspices of a little half Europeanised Syrian who is station master 1905 426 Syrian woman and invited me to go and dine with her in 1911 496 February 10. Syrian Desert.There is in Dumeir a very beautiful tmple 1905 2863 where were the Syrian Gates of the Ancients. It was from this 1910 777 the Syrians - they are from Damascus - and had a long gossip 1905 2539 Syrians talking nothing but Arabic into Asia Minor. I 1905 324 chiefly Greeks and Syrians who gamble in cotton - they are immensely 1910 557 the Dalmatian SS Company are enough to make anyone laugh. I 1911 1983 belongs to a certain Sheikh Tabib who is a relation of Mustafa Pasha - 1911 295 tell you another friend has turned up, Selim Tabit (see the 1911 347 archaeological expeditions. Selim Tabit has been a great addition 1911 307 my old friend Muhammad Pasha Jerudi. "Oh" said Tabit Beg "he 1911 314 coat either. So we sat down and Tabit Bey talked uninterruptedly for 1911 304 - I have just come in from dining with Selim Tabit. He is 1911 250 this Mr Dewey came in and on his heels the Amir Tahir and his 1911 300 found there the Amir 'Umar and the Amir Tahir whom I presently took 1905 1659 the morning, the Sheikh Tahir, and after him a troop of poets and 1911 240 the Amir Tahir, his grandson. I found them both in the Amir 1911 240 his grandson. I found them both in the Amir Tahir's 1909 2493 castle of Hatem Tai which commands the gorge leading up from the 1911 723 and two little hills to the S, Taif and Teneif - they stand at the 1909 3367 side an hour out of Kaiarieh. I passed through Talas on my 1909 3366 mission and hospital at a village called Talas on the 1911 2778 French Consul, M. Talausier, dined with me last night, and a great 1911 2837 Consul, M. Talausier, very nice. He called on me today and we walked 1905 3705 Tom, Horace and I are going to a party at the Talbots 1905 3691 concert last night was nice. I saw the Talbots and talked to them and 1905 145 she is going out to join. She knew the Talbots and Caroline and was 1909 2578 say Tamberlane destroyed it in part. Oh I wish he had 1905 3671 orange trees. Our boat goes to Tangier at 11 tomorrow morning 1905 1440 got on at Naples. He has been with his people at Taormina but 1905 3174 that we forgot to notice even that work of art. Tarsus is 1905 3166 tomorrow I am actually going to Tarsus BY TRAIN! Mr Lloyd comes too 1911 38 accent of Tartaine and recounts tales that might have issued from 1909 166 hand and the train was packed with Tartars from Bokhara and those 1905 2438 Tarutia. There were a few families of Arab fellahin 1905 2444 Arabic for 3 weeks. So I stayed next day at Tarutin and spent the 1905 2437 huge stretch of ruin. Tarutin is its modern name, its classic was 1905 2459 the moment we left the high ground on which Tarutin lies there was not 1907 2191 Sunday July 7. Tashpunar. I rode over the spur of the mountain 1911 2012 poor dear) to a place called Tauk which is now a mean village but was 1905 3483 delicious riding at dawn up towards the snows of Taurus 1905 3225 to be on top of Taurus after a fortnight of Cilician plain and coast 1905 3072 peaks of Taurus all glittering. It was most beautiful. I took my 1905 3015 charming country to Kars Bazaar which lies under Taurus and 1909 3493 Taurus and spending a couple of days with him, but I 1905 3000 of Taurus and the Giour Dagh - it was an hour after dawn 1905 3474 station but one on the line. The town lies under Taurus near 1907 1965 down to Taurus. As I was about to leave Karabunar an excitable 1907 1216 Taurus, a king and a god carved also above a mighty 1911 2426 the Sinjar storm. The camp fires of the Tayy gleam round the horizon 1911 2418 camels - the tents of the Tayy Arabs with a few Shammar skulking among 1907 2652 highly coloured past I gather. You know when P. Teane married 1910 84 exciting. Teano has plunged into modern politics, which I gather 1910 82 of them and I don't know why. We lunch with the Teanos tomorrow 1909 3140 still quite a big river here, bigger than the Tees at Yarm. It was 1909 253 Myguid - he passed through Tehran 2 years ago and saw Springy there 1909 2598 standing. Tehre was another ruined church higher up the village 1909 1737 on working at it for 2 days' more on my way to Tekrit 1909 1821 for a judgement upon me. We arrived opposite Tekrit about 1, there 1909 1849 the time in looking at where the Tekrit of the great Arab days had 1909 1834 is one of his 14 sons. He happened to be in Tekrit on 1909 1843 caravan that passes up and down from Tekrit to Mosul but pays them 1909 1893 left Tekrit with 3 or 4 Chaldaeans from about Mosul and as 1911 2922 Jebel Tektek - it isn't really a mountain, not to notice it 1909 1647 I'm travelling along the line of retreat of the Ten 1911 723 and two little hills to the S, Taif and Teneif - they stand at the 1911 99 knows the fragments in the Terme - we saw them together - and she 1910 730 flew up to the Terme and went through all the ornament there with 1911 82 The second thing is in the Museum of the Terme. I was shown it by the 1911 91 later than the fragments at the Terme. It is undoubtedly an Asiatic 1911 85 out of Terme, near Tivoli I think. When I saw these fragments 1905 1421 hotel, by name Selim Pasha Thabit. He spent the evening talking to me 1905 1536 Maronite Christian, by name Selim Bey Thabit, who has constituted 1909 1254 had been raiders of the Thafi'a, a hostile tribe. 'Ali had seen at 1909 329 Euphrates! a noble stream, as wide here as the Thames at Chelsea 1909 626 Thapsacum where Darius crossed the river after Issus with 1911 2289 sobverly with my own men. We followed the Tharthar valley and 1911 2297 my mare refused to drink the Tharthar water. I could not wonder, for 1911 2283 an hour from the river Tharthar which is so bitter salt that no 1910 524 excavations of Theoderic's palace. I got back to my hotel in time for 1907 477 passengers are most uninteresting except that Theodore 1909 3534 British Embassy, Therafia Saturday (July 10, 1909) Dearest Father, You 1909 2969 come straight to Therapia and he came to see me the same day. I 1907 2498 back to Therapia to lunch and now I have gone off with the 1907 2523 the Bosphorus and from there I am going on to Therapia where I stay 1907 2490 insisted on carrying me off to Therapia with him 1911 2498 them. So I am lodged in the house of Dr and Mrs Thom and fed by Mr 1909 2769 journey with the good old dragoman - his name is Thomas 1911 2725 and with the good little Thomas Effendi (he is an Armenian) to do all 1911 2722 for me. I found here the dragoman, Thomas Effendi, a great friend of 1905 2856 Mr Yates Thompson - you might tell him if you see him. I will 1911 3010 there -it was only 5 hours' ride - and found Mr Thompson and a young 1909 3707 by going for a walk in the rain. Mr Thompson came over yesterday to 1911 3009 left but that Mr Thompson was still at Carchemish. Accordingly I went 1909 3709 Thompson. Ever your very affectionate daughter Gertrude 1909 1529 think I breakfasted? with Thora! Mrs Hall, I should say. There she 1910 388 and then Mr R and I walked about the Tiber till 5 when I went to see 1905 553 that moment spending a week at Tiberias because the road was 1905 3617 Sunday Tidworth House Andover (October 29 1905) Dearest Mother 1905 1175 the Kaimakam who proved a charming person from Tiflis, we talk 1909 1385 the ruins in the morning, studying my Tigris 1909 1945 was looking its best while I was there. The Tigris 1909 1633 have been riding along an old dry channel of the Tigris and 1909 1643 Tigris and are camped on the W bank. I felt rather 1909 2908 and vines stretching along the edge of the Tigris and from my windows 1909 1953 out with us over the Tigris and the hills of Assyria. Yes, these have 1909 1610 the Sidd, the high embankment of the Tigris and I thought at every 1909 1644 Tigris at first, but I'm beginning to have rather an 1909 1856 country, mostly by the Tigris bank, and am now camped by the river 1909 1453 Wednesday April 14 Tigris bank, opposite the Median Wall - that's as 1909 1975 6.15 and rode along the Tigris banks and a little inland to avoid the 1909 2925 plain where the Tigris begins its existence, flowing peacefully from 1911 2644 interesting. We rode up Tigris for an hour or two and then turned up 1909 1877 barren hills comes down to the Tigris from the NW, crosses the river 1909 2923 cold. We rode for several hours up the narrow Tigris gorge, very 1909 1408 ie the 6th century. You navigate the Tigris in a kind of boat called 1909 1783 it pitched on a high bank above the Tigris in the very middle of the 1909 1868 I've enjoyed this Tigris journey immensely; it has been exceptionally 1909 2823 the Tigris on top of a steep cliff; it is ringed round with 1911 2609 there would be no crossing of the Tigris till it had run down 1911 1483 stepped into a guffa and floated down the Tigris to the Residency. It 1909 2443 one another in Turkish. Then we went down to the Tigris valley and 1909 2903 Arghana) or rather we got into a khan, for the Tigris valley, in 1909 2914 it down to some furnaces by the edge of the Tigris where 1909 2456 groves of flowering pomegranates back to the Tigris where we 1909 1788 and rising stars and gleaming curves of the Tigris. Next day was very 1911 2622 fair record of Hasn Keif, thanks to the Tigris. On the afternoon 1909 1675 high up over the widening Tigris. The floods are coming down and the 1909 1991 the greater Zab with the Tigris. The whole world shone like a jewel 1909 1913 Tigris; it was the oldest Assyrian capital and remained 1909 1399 Monday April 5. We rode 4 hours across to the Tigris, a mighty stream 1911 2653 the Batman Su, a large tributary of the Tigris, by a fine old bridge 1911 2602 it. And at the foot of the cliff rolled the Tigris, in full 1911 1473 Tigris, skirting the flood water, but when we reached 1909 2421 on the Tigris, where I am camping, there is the remains of a 1909 1483 the Times about irrigation and railways. I don't know 1909 3415 letter to the Times about them. The whole country is full of tales 1909 1686 My letter to the Times is necessarily the merest sketch. If you care 1911 380 Times is rather captious, don't you think? I am glad 1907 346 please have the Times kept for me from Thursday 3rd inclusive 1909 3013 wondering if I shall write another letter to the Times on 1910 178 from Tivoli and rushed to my Times to see the account of your dinner 1911 1492 Consul at Basrah. I got a Times yesterday which had come by the last 1907 1696 can see him with the Times Atlas listening (if you can call it 1910 178 from Tivoli and rushed to my Times to see the account of 1910 204 with Miss van Deman to Tivoli and worked all day at Hadrian's Villa 1910 171 to motor to Tivoli with Mme de Filippi, Dr Haseloff and Mr Richmond 1911 85 out of Terme, near Tivoli I think. When I saw these fragments they 1907 664 and Tmolus. From the top of the pass we could see into the 1905 913 with Gablan home to Tneib. It then appeared that there was blood 1905 887 Saturday 11. And I am still at Tneib. Yesterday it stopped raining 1905 811 called Tneib, 3 hours east of Madeba. Now Madeba is east of 1905 95 Port Arthur! banzai! Didn't you think Togo's speech to the spirits 1909 3193 the stream. The Tokhma Su. There is a tiny Kurdish village near and 1909 3205 through which hurried the Tokhma Su, a tiny, clear, mountain stream 1909 3198 On Sunday we had another delicious camp on the Tokhma Su, under 1907 1057 the island with Nazmi, my Tokmajik man. It was completely surrounded 1907 1103 chicken is less good than the chicken of Tokmajik." Fattuh (with 1907 1104 reminiscence of his culinary experiences at Tokmajik) "That 1907 1795 with me an intelligent villager of Tokmajik, the plagce where I had 1905 1820 you think will interest them - Uncle Tom and Horace and my Aunts 1909 881 got to the other side we looked back and saw Tom howling upon the 1905 1886 - Uncle Tom will sympathise I feel sure. It is indeed a 1905 3705 Tonight Uncle Tom, Horace and I are going to a party at the 1909 3272 for when I asked him whether he was a native of Tomarza 1909 3363 This morning we rode back 7 hours to Tomarza and then 2 hours more on 1909 3263 paving stones - a curious country. Tomarza lies up on the lava bed 1909 3256 called Tomarza where I knew there was a very fine, and very 1909 3274 He was, and his French was the French of Tomarza. The church has been 1909 3286 He begged to know my purpose in coming to Tomarza, but I 1911 1284 it. Our landmark after the first hour was the Tower of Babel 1911 1421 the Tower of Babel. You know what it was? It was an 1905 734 hope you will be very happy all by yourself! Mr Townley has sent me 1910 310 Trajan embarked for the Ducian wars - vide his column 1910 251 Trajan's Baths, which are I think too much ruined to be 1910 562 This is the second time I've tried to see Trau 1910 558 to go this afternoon by sea to Trau and having carefully looked out my 1910 641 night that I could not bear not to see Trau and the decision was 1910 657 Trau in the 3rd century? and finally behind all, and 1910 651 hour at Trau which is a tiny little walled town built on an 1910 573 It was very nice. When I found I could not go to Trau I got 1910 660 well rewarded for coming to Trau. Later in the day we had an hour and 1906 113 C. runs the Govt. No one is heard from the Treasury Bank but 1907 580 asked at once for Mr Young but he has gone to Trebizond, to everyone's 1911 443 Sir F. Treves and his wife are here. I'm not going out to tea 1907 276 he begins to feel that it never will end. Tribe does not think it 1907 193 that it should take so long to disappear. But Tribe insists 1907 267 who brought in Tribe. Father's temp was 101. But Tribe said it was 1907 209 for ten days on our way home. Tribe said we might do that if we chose 1907 183 to you and I must now write you all that Dr Tribe says. We had him in 1907 219 something else behind, but Tribe set my mind quite at rest about that 1907 288 said they thought very well of Madden and that Tribe was an 1907 267 who brought in Tribe. Father's temp was 101. But Tribe said it was 1910 147 Tribune! I need not say I had nothing to do with the 1910 515 my boods and worked at Ravenna. Finally I got to Trieste 1910 697 hope to get early next morning to Trieste. Ever your affectionate 1909 2125 nice at Mosul. Mr Young knew Hugo at Trinity; he is very charming and 1905 1984 that goes to Tripoli our way lay through such delicious country that 1905 2013 His eldest son was shot by a schoolfellow at Tripoli, a 1909 2694 their praise. The Chelabi worked like a Trojan, but he had a personal 1911 120 afternoon we all went to the mosque of Ibn Tulun and spent 1911 2172 Preusser, had visited two of my Tur 'Abdin churches and is publishing 1911 2170 Tur 'Abdin. Three of the 4 who were there 2 years 1911 81 Tur Abdin 1911 2594 the rocky ridges of the Tur Abdin and reaching its summit saw 1909 2681 providential, a glove in the Tur Abdin being a most incriminating 1911 2511 man who knows the Tur Abdin better than any other person and to him is 1911 2449 morning. It is sister to my Tur Abdin churches but I think a younger 1911 2556 satisfaction.Nearly every village in the Tur Abdin has a sacred grove 1911 2450 sister. The Tur Abdin mountains are about 4 miles to the north 1909 3472 would be reported - one might think that in the Tur Abdin one 1909 2461 onto the great plateau which is called the Tur Abdin to see 1911 168 bishops in the Tur Abdin. And then we went over the printing 1911 2539 the 21st, and rode eastward into the Tur Abdin. It is no wonder that 1911 78 the Tur Abdin. The photograph does not I think exist 1909 2643 All the people, from Jezireh to Mardin, all the Tur Abdin, belong to 1911 2423 Tur Abdin, which ends Mesopotamia, to the north, but 1909 3501 preaching even from the pulpits revenge on the Turk and political 1905 1144 but he is a Druze from Salkhad and he hates the Turk as a Druze knows 1909 3552 came to lunch, a very agreeable, intelligent Turk talking 1905 2938 stopped at the house of a Turk to buy a hen - he invited me in till 1911 2358 officer in command was a very pleasant young Turk who had come out 1909 3825 was the first Turk who has ever been made a member of the 1909 3541 that may adjust itself without disturbances. The Turk would 1905 3110 the Turk; he is the most charming of mortals and some day 1909 1541 Commander in Chief, a delightful old rogue of a Turk, and he 1907 986 The Yemen is eating the heart out of Turkey 1907 2518 the day with Mr Fitzmaurice who knows more about Turkey 1909 745 an eagle as large as a Turkey 1909 2109 and the Committee of U and P have saved Turkey a second time. So much 1909 2069 would happen now in Turkey and I said "There will be military rule 1910 668 talked of Turkey and Turks. Niemann too became quite human over 1909 1692 opportunity arose you might say a good word for Turkey in high places 1909 2959 going up to Kharput to see the splendid citadel. Turkey is a 1905 3359 intelligence of Turkey is in exile and being in exile it speaks out 1909 2806 ruined. I have come to the conclusion that Turkey is really a 1905 3269 Turkey must be a marvel of delicate balance or it would 1909 3487 in any language. What I've got to say about Turkey I'll say at 1911 1627 and vacillation which is the curse of Turkey. And it is just on the 1911 2262 Turkey. But perhaps I might as well reserve the rest of 1909 2816 surveillance over the whole of Turkey. However I shall be out of it 1909 2808 gloomy about Turkey. I don't think the debacle will come within the 1911 2968 is one of the loveliest places I have seen in Turkey. I spent a long 1905 230 impossible for the plague to find its way into Turkey. It was a 1907 995 also to see how road making is conducted in Turkey. It's 1905 2100 before I next journey in Turkey. Meantime I think however that a part 1909 3677 next week but he is going to Turkey. Now I must tell you we can't 1909 2912 copper mines in all Turkey. The copper crops out high up on the 1909 1697 well for Turkey. There is a good margin for profit all round 1905 259 maps - maps are very suspicious objects in Turkey. They lay 1907 920 to Isbarta - we call such things roads in Turkey. We turned into the 1909 2984 long talk about Turkey, or with someone. We would probably go north 1907 2512 suspect that he will play a large part in Turkey, very possibly mould 1905 1118 with Nasib for whenever we began to talk, a Turkish 1905 1116 welcome. Now I must tell you that there is a Turkish 1905 3184 fortnight. Fattur speaks Arabic and Turkish 1905 237 we were in harbour. I had sent a note by the Turkish 1907 1967 suitably. He then said very fast indeed in Turkish 1907 1681 nothing like being on excellent terms with high Turkish 1907 984 You see how these disastrous wars destroy the Turkish 1907 834 and corn and walnuts and prosperous looking Turkish 1909 2762 Chelabi has taken by this time! The methods of Turkish 1909 3273 understand and I had to repeat the question in Turkish 1909 2871 from the Kaimmakam at Midyat leaves me only 18 Turkish 1909 90 has not yet replaced. For my part I hope the Turkish 1911 1968 it. The fact was that we were in sight of the Turkish 1907 633 to Mrs Cumberbatch who can't speak a word of Turkish - that's so like 1907 905 Turkish army and muttering in Turkish "Nassl askar! nassl askar! - 1909 2943 joy; and I am picking up my bad Turkish again, at a point, oddly 1909 3589 Turkish and a German soldier embracing on top of a 1907 979 Turkish and half in broken Arabic, of his 10 years in 1905 1726 Turkish army - it happened to be one of his moments of 1907 905 Turkish army and muttering in Turkish "Nassl askar 1905 3438 most comic figure that ever stepped out of the Turkish army. He has 1911 2211 received with acclamation by the Turkish army. The modern conditions 1911 199 to keep up something of a conversation in Turkish at which tongue I do 1907 1445 by the appearance of a white roofed Turkish cart and many were the 1909 2822 one of the most interesting of Turkish cities. It stands high above 1909 1377 Turkish commissioner for the diggings here is a certain 1905 3394 themselves shanties out of the ruins, but it is Turkish custom 1909 1978 with newly born locusts. Presently we met a Turkish effendi 1911 2256 you can't imagine. The immediate future of the Turkish empire 1905 626 which is Turkish for wolf 1911 1816 country till we came to the Turkish frontier post. Mustafa Pasha had 1911 1973 people in the settled districts. A year ago the Turkish frontier was 1905 1023 I laugh to think that I am marching along the Turkish frontier, so 1911 283 Sami Pasha, the Turkish general, who was just returned from the 1905 2090 ever again being a simple happy traveller. The Turkish government 1905 1745 Ask the Turkish government 1905 2815 one desire is to have done with the Turkish government - not the 1905 735 letters to all the Turkish governors in Asia Minor 1909 823 turned out to be nothing but a modern Turkish guard house fallen into 1911 506 sheep. In half an hour we passed the little Turkish guard house which 1907 2513 Turkish history at some time or other; and he is a very 1907 1089 Turkish house - very short and I fear not very important 1907 1620 foundations. A few Turkish hovels are accomodated in the ruins - in 1909 2942 The people all speak Turkish instead of Kurdish, which is an immense 1909 254 He is very interesting about his recent Turkish journey. It was a 1905 2097 that fatal Turkish letter I presented to the Vali of Damascus. I 1911 1974 as bad as the Persain. So we rode through the Turkish lines and 1905 1739 found himself suddenly between 2 fires, for the Turkish main 1911 2414 'Darma!' Durma in Turkish means don't stop. I did not ask what he 1905 998 doubt that we shall very considerably profit by Turkish misrule 1905 287 I must add that no amount of acquaintance with Turkish money 1909 3190 Turkish mukhtar (headman) of the village, who brought me 1905 3131 do. At the hands of Turkish muleteers I suffer tortures. They get 1911 2031 day, Turkish news with regard to Baghdad. So I went off in 1907 1931 talk enough Turkish not to be left speechless with Kaimakams and 1911 1557 with high Turkish officials who know a little French. It's like 1905 1190 making close friends with the Turkish officials, especially with the 1905 994 desert and of Turkish oppression and telling them how things are in 1905 3020 must study the Turkish participles - there are some 30 of them. I 1909 2810 The army and the old Turkish party are bound to quarrel. Already the 1911 1636 heard enough of Turkish politics and I will devote a few lines to the 1909 3402 largely and the Turkish population believed them to possess arms in 1905 789 and trust to the vagaries of the Turkish post office. Your 1909 905 Turkish pounds and when all was done he came back and 1909 2749 Turkish pounds from him, this morning (Saturday May 29) 1909 2626 (including a belt with 42 Turkish pounds in it) taken away. Far the 1909 2870 got back 20 Turkish pounds. That with the 5 pounds I borrowed 1905 2887 should say that Turkish prisoners on a life sentence were the most 1907 723 Greek who talked Turkish so we managed to have a little conversation 1905 3049 couple of Turkish soldiers in it who supplied me with mild and 1905 931 the Turkish soldiery as if so he would take his rifle. I 1907 630 Konia - and I managed to stammer a little Turkish to her which was at 1909 3144 in its famous gardens of fruit trees, a charming Turkish town 1905 1742 way back one by one to the extreme rear of the Turkish trroops 1905 1143 a soldier sitting at my campfire. He wears the Turkish uniform 1907 844 sorts of things. A miserable Turkish village is clustered in and 1907 682 which mark every Turkish village, stood like tall gray shadows without 1905 3424 days a Turkish villager. It gives me great pleasure when I come 1907 1958 the salt desert. Of course you understand about Turkish villages 1907 1073 boatmen had been though the Russo Turkish war - Nish, Plevna, he 1907 1127 I've bought another horse, this time for 10pound Turkish which 1909 3443 telegraph in Turkish which would not be much good to you - here are 1911 1752 to Kasr i Shirin and as I could not take Turkish zaptiehs into 1909 2911 fact a sort of Turkish Loftus. It has one of the largest and oldest 1905 1122 I went to his house again I found the Turkish Mudir who lives side by 1905 2899 especially now that half my servants talk only Turkish. But 1907 1966 to the room I was sitting in and greeted me in Turkish. I 1905 2813 and Turkish. I found one yesterday who would speak Arabic to 1907 1112 in comfort and learnt some Turkish. In the afternoon I called on the 1905 2995 talking nothing but Turkish. It's the greatest lark. I've learnt 1905 1922 secretary piecing out his Arabic and my Turkish. One of the principal 1905 2911 the new men their work - in fragmentary Turkish. The good Mikhail is 1909 2443 one another in Turkish. Then we went down to the Tigris valley and 1909 1488 dreadfully Turkish! The fact is one ends by feeling so much bound 1907 2167 his name?" said I. (There's no neuter in Turkish) "Ali" said he 1911 2136 meet their wishes. "Khanum Effendi" (we talk Turkish) "I had not 1905 1570 speak Arabic and I cannot venture in Turkish; our conversation was in 1911 2121 suitable reply in Turkish, (that is the language they mostly talk 1911 198 He talked Turkish, a few words of French and no Arabic - we made 1911 2682 prelude to a very voluble conversation in Turkish, of which I picked 1905 2978 talk Turkish, there's nothing else for it. I've just been 1907 1903 hours more till we came to Otamish, a biggish Turkman 1907 2351 and here we rooted out an agreeable old Turkman and told him 1907 2247 The Turkman from Halva Dere proposed to go down by a short 1907 1901 look at - there can be no doubt but that he is a Turkman. He need not 1907 2400 we sent the animals on with Haidar and my Turkman, very early in the 1907 1932 Turkmans and the rest. We were in the thick of making 1907 2229 Turkmans for my companions, merry fellows who went 1907 2121 It is called yanshan. There were 2 charming old Turkmans in 1907 1900 Turkmans in this part of the world. They are exactly like 1909 3498 but a very severe lesson at the hands of the Turks 1909 3224 in all this valley, but the Avshars, the nomad Turks 1911 2249 Baghdad. I had plenty to give them. There were Turks and 1907 2503 many interesting people, Turks and others. The only person I have not 1905 3159 are strange Greeks and Turks and parties in turbans and Circassians 1907 2489 of Turks and people were introduced to me, a thing I 1907 1488 labour of 20 Turks and 4 Kurds! We are going to get something out 1907 1698 the middle of which I am writing. 31 Turks are busy with picks and 1911 2232 the Turks are handling matters here. The men whom I saw at 1909 1432 Ramsay is very anxious; there is no news and the Turks are unable to 1905 1125 the protection of the Druzes I can go, but the Turks don't like this 1909 3400 was their duty to revenge themselves on the Turks for the outrages of 1911 2348 Arabs, and with everybody else, but the Turks have now put in what 1909 3404 the shooting, even on their own showing; the Turks thought the 1909 3484 all. No, no interviews; never any at all, as the Turks would say 1910 668 talked of Turkey and Turks. Niemann too became quite human over 1909 584 were chamring people, Turks; they greeted me with effusion and gave me 1905 1733 opportunity to kill him as an officer of the Turks, and he desired 1911 2009 camp at Tuz Khurmatli and I have just had a long visit from 1905 464 and I was able to push forward. I got into Tyre at midday and 1905 471 laid upon Tyre. It's curious that the name of this great city 1905 444 the road to Tyre; 20 yards from the sea on a little bit of flat 1907 2476 Tyrol address and I expect he will come to Graz to see 1909 1688 (Tyrrell) could show you an elaborate report of Colonel 1909 3019 If the Tyrrells can not have me that Sunday, perhaps the 1909 2978 should you say if Father were to suggest to the Tyrrells that I should 1907 439 Tyrrells, Mrs Green (she fled in a few minutes!) Charles 1909 3602 come straight down to the Tyrrells? I don't want to spend Sunday in 1909 3020 would take me in? I would rather go to the [Tyrrells] since Father will be 1909 2981 the [Tyrrells]! Then I should come back to London on the 19th 1907 1979 Uaojek. July 1. I must tell you that this expedition 1911 854 3 valleys called el 'Ud which all lead into the Hauran. After 7 hours 1911 862 into the second of the valleys el 'Ud. By this time Fattuh and I were 1910 517 be for another journey. I left at 8 and reached Udine at 1911 1906 and this, I think finally settles the date of Ukheidir and 1911 12 done much at Ukheidir for he was only one day there. He confirms my 1911 1242 looked back and saw Ukheidir for the last time. An hour or so further 1911 1257 Ukheidir itself. I set about the plan without delay and 1911 1905 nearer to Ukheidir than you could guess from de Morgan's account of 1911 1231 March 4. We left Ukheidir this morning - I wonder whether I 1911 1263 We brought ours from Ukheidir today and the horses were so thirsty 1911 2323 was a most exciting parallel to the Ukheidir vaulting system which I 1911 1109 a short cut to Ukheidir via Rahhaliyyeh. It saves at least a day 1911 1163 Mudir begged me to spend the night with him, but Ukheidir was only 3 1911 1206 Ukheidir we came to the old plaster factory, from which I 1911 1846 they would furnish a great clue to Ukheidir. I found my servants 1911 1183 hope so; one is never safe at Ukheidir. My friends of last time have 1911 1138 job is irresistible. And the next job is Ukheidir. Shetateh looked 1911 2325 has struck other people, because, not knowing Ukheidir, they can't 1907 2182 "all ruins, all broken." However we went to Uleuren and I 1907 2173 church's name!" "Uleuren ther is, and Karaeuren, and Yazlikisle..." so 1907 2181 at Uleuren!" "No marble churches" said he (there aren't any 1911 300 found there the Amir 'Umar and the Amir Tahir whom I presently took 1911 239 anyone knows the desert it is the Amir 'Umar, 'Abdul Kadir's son, and 1905 1091 passed also 2 ruined towers quite deserted like Umm ej Jemal 1905 1072 towers and walls of Umm ej Jemal before us. It looks like a great 1905 1049 Tuesday 14. Beit Umm ej Jemal: The Mother of Camels. That's where we 1911 1352 retraced our steps through the sand as far as Umm el Gharraf (the 1905 1086 Wednesday 15. Umm er Rumnian (the Mother of Pomegranates - but 1905 1269 We are camped tonight in a village called Umm Ruweik, the Sheikh of 1905 1277 Fa'is, his brother Ghishghash who is sheikh of Umm Ryweih 1907 434 was Lord Carlisle, Albert Grays, Hugh Barneses, Una Binch 1907 446 came too (abase!)

He accordingly asked a certain 1910 790 the United States was on the boat. Paris was very nice. I 1909 3825 Turk who has ever been made a member of the University 1909 3830 me - to the immense interest of the University. We spent the rest of 1911 113 lecture (in classical Arabic!) at the Cairo University, Mr Crowfoot is 1905 648 month. I shall do the same at Aleppo and at Urfa (if I go there - but 1911 2982 Birejik Saturday 20. We left Urfa on Friday morning. Our way lay 1911 2957 Urfa over the fertile plain, and were not sorry for 1911 2920 Urfa Thursday 18. We had two long and rather 1909 3675 Gunter comes today for the night - we dine with Valda 1907 22 go as I please in the Azhar. Hugo talked to Lady Valda all 1907 8 Lady Valda and I were the only women so I sat on the other 1909 3651 Chalmers yesterday. The garden looked lovely and Valda was amused 1905 2101 due to the state of extreme alarm into which the Vali 1909 3107 obeyed. I also knew that during those days the Vali 1911 2819 brought a letter to the Vali (a charming man) from Khalil Bey, the 1907 623 the Cumberbatches and we went to call on the Vali - my Konia friend 1909 3088 Mr [Masterson] has tried to get from the Vali a copy of the C'pl 1911 273 and see the Vali and had not found out beforehand whether he 1909 2677 soldiers, and also telegrams to the Vali and the consul at Diarbekr 1909 3074 district telegraphed to the acting Vali at Diarbekr that if what is 1909 3522 the Vali at Konia and I'll have the whole constitutional 1909 3057 to protect them if need were. On Ap 25 the Vali came to him 1909 3408 responsibility is with the local officials. The Vali could have 1911 1558 eating sand. The Vali had one stock phrase with which he replied to 1909 3089 telegram. But the Vali has now recovered from the strain; he 1907 1675 way I hear from Konia that the Vali has received special instructions 1909 2080 going to offer their good wishes to the Vali in an hour's time, and 1905 1568 party. The Vali is very busy making a garden, we had a long 1905 1565 for me and recited French verses, while the Vali looked on with 1905 2097 that fatal Turkish letter I presented to the Vali of Damascus. I 1905 1576 lot of him. When I left, the Vali presented me wit photographs of the 1909 3096 don't know, they aren't sure that the Vali prevented anything, or that 1911 2821 The Vali replied that he was much distressed but could 1909 3093 leading Armenians to sign a testimonial to the Vali saying that he 1911 2827 is now in C'ple. He is M. Sherket's cousin. The Vali says he 1911 2833 Vali sent police to look after me and all the sheikhs 1909 2101 of the change of sovereigns. Yesterday the Vali sent round 1911 2820 head of the Museum, in which he begged the Vali to let me plan it 1911 2727 work here. I am sending for permission to the Vali to plan to great 1909 2833 ordering the Vali to promot disturbance ie to massacre the 1911 282 all the notables of Damascus and the Vali who had gone down to welcome 1911 1549 Vali who was sent here a year ago with 1905 1754 Pendi lives, next door to the Vali. I took the opportunity to go and 1909 3035 Monday evening I had a visit from the Vali, a cheerful rubicund little 1905 3163 me at times. In the afternoon I called on the Vali, an 1905 1761 those who talk by post. The Vali, when he heard I was going to ride 1907 614 the last Vali, Kiamil Pasha. I believe he consulted him in 1911 2826 Vali's approval, telegraphed the same request to my 1909 3067 to a day. The Vali's resistance does him all the more credit because 1907 641 we were there the wife of the Vali's secretary; Mme Pasha got up and 1911 1570 ears under the hands of the Vali's workmen) .... they would rather 1909 3111 Aleppo and at Damascus, though the Valis there had nothing to gain 1909 3105 Mosul, where the Valis were men of the new order. Abdul Hamid knew 1907 2212 Dere, the Valley of Sweetmeats, at the Northern foot of Hassan Dagh 1905 3449 from Aleppo to Van and Baghdad. This morning I ascended Kara Dagh - 1907 743 night at Malcajik with the Van Lenneps. It cleared in the afternoon 1909 2085 consul at Van, and Mr Wigram of the Archbishop's Nestorian 1909 2086 Van, both very nice, especially the latter.

The rest of the tale is 1910 453 enchanting Venetian court yards open out of the narrow streets, an 1910 663 Venetian fortresses and sat there looking at the 1910 673 Venetian gates. It has a cathedral of the 13th c, a dream 1910 652 with Venetian lions over the gateways and an 11th century 1907 2634 going to Venice after all! a pleasant spot. Meantime I've got 1905 3774 sketches of Venice in the Pall Mall gallery this year.

We lunched with the Warrens - the President sent many 1907 377 improved by his months of Washington and very full of the charm of 1906 109 Watercolours yesterday. He congratulated me warmly on 1909 1548 Sir W. Willcock's house and his brother and Mr Watts 1909 1185 thing works out to within 40 centimetres of Mr Watts 1909 1109 I met the young man of last night - his name is Watts - 1909 1131 almost perfect. I lunched with Mr Watts and thought things over; he 1909 1144 our supply of food. So I took counsel with Mr Watts and we arranged 1905 129 to see the Watts pictures after - which are beautiful. Now I'm 1905 125 on you. He sends me the Weekly Times and the Spectator.

One of the Whittall girls met me at the 1907 585 the headman for my diggings whom Mr Richard Whittall is 1907 531 snow is lying quite low on the hills. One of the Whittalls 1907 714 Whittalls and tomorrow I go for the night to Malcajik to 1907 619 orientals themselves.

I was 1907 871 delighted to see them, especially Mr [Spenser Wilkinson] and we went off and saw the 1909 1431 Willcocks and 3 steamers are being held up at Amara by 1911 1487 tomorrow. Sir W. Willcocks came in to tea and we fell upon each 1909 1311 Willcocks has on hand. Even our road to Museyyib was 1911 1639 here under his leadership. Sir W. Willcocks is still here, dear old 1909 1464 I didn not see Sir W. Willcocks which was a great disappointment, but 1911 1662 up the river in the launch and called on Sir W. Willcocks whom we 1909 1105 call. He is one of Sir W. Willcocks' engineers who is making out the 1909 1548 afternoon in Sir W. Willcocks' house and his brother and Mr Watts 1909 1551 The brother is an old dear, but I wished Sir W. [Willcocks] 1907 31 Sir William and had a delightful time. Oh, and a most 1911 115 plans, published by Strzyg. which sent Sir William and me there, and 1907 38 Sir William and then go to Mina House for a couple of 1911 1675 another half million, but Sir William doesn't stick at trifles when he 1911 1680 Sir William now? he is a 20th century Don Quixote, erratic 1907 2412 Sir William says is the most magnificent building in 1907 1820 so poor Sir William took him to toil up there again to decipher them 1907 305 William Garstin came to see us yesterday and was very 1906 163 and one to lunch with Sir William Gartin. The latter is a nice 1907 25 charming dinner with the Maskells, too: Sir [William Gerstin] was there also 1907 2602 Sir [William Ramsay] came at 3 and the Aclands at 4. We had te 1907 2065 rubbings for Sir William. The villages here have all been Christian 1909 3706 by Sir William! I'm going to drive it out of my head this 1907 1981 mountain. One man, a pupil of Sir [William's] once paid a flying visit to 1909 3686 about the Williams so I suppose you have no objection.

One plan is that Sir [William] 1907 1672 I shd have been helpless here without Sir [William] and the more I work with 1907 1851 last week has been the most useful of all. Sir [William] and I have been 1907 2603 went off to their meeting while Sir [William] and I walked in the garden and 1907 1711 point of the mountain, 2 hours from here. Sir [William] found the 1907 1888 which Sir [William] found the 3 Hittite inscriptions and the fort 1907 1641 Sir [William] has seen 3 Hittite inscriptions on an 1907 1771 It's most exciting. Sir [William] thinks it's a very early Hittite 1907 1571 advantage to have Sir [William] to work with and indeed I could not have 1907 441 Bill Goodenough and Major Parsons. Spencer L and Willie 1909 3455 a day or two - I should like to see Willie and tell him what's up in 1905 3686 on Tuesday. The Richmonds are engaged and so is Willie I 1907 2549 of the evening, after he goes to the office with Willie T 1909 1687 of the matter, George (Lloyd) will tell you, and Willie T 1909 3797 with me. He came back yesterday. I asked Willie T. to come too but 1907 2545 Today I lunched with Sir Edward and Mr Haldane - Willie T. told Sir 1911 1540 that Gertrude is recovering. Thank you for Willie's note. Poor, poor 1906 113 Winston [Churchill]? runs the Govt. No one is heard from 1911 2846 had 2 long days' journey to Wiransheher - the first 12 and the second 1911 2887 over the desert from Wiransheher to Ras el 'Ain. It was all deep in 1911 2854 grass. Moreover it was rainy and windy and grey. Wiransheher was the 1911 2864 the time for mercy has arrived. Before I left Wiransheher I 1909 2927 stream no bigger than the Wiske, at about 4 hours from its source, and 1911 399 can wait. Woolston's bill is all for Clarence. I have told him to 1905 3739 Mrs. Ritchie met Mrs Stuart Wortley on the top of a mountain and was 1907 1550 had them for besides the bit of work Mr Wrench did for me yesterday 1909 3613 said I would go for a night. The Wrightsons were so charming, the 1907 1292 Consul Doughty Wylie and his wife, and so to my dear good Loytved 1909 3432 whence I shall telegraph to you. The Doughty Wylies will not be 1907 2456 alleviation to be staying with the [Doughty Wylies] - they are dears, both of 1907 2456 alleviation to be staying with the [Doughty Wylies] - they are dears, both of 1907 1366 at Konia. "Nevertheless" writes Captain [Doughty Wylie] 1910 151 the help of the Embassy such is Italy! Mr Wyndham 1910 801 enclosed from M. Wyndham. I have told him we hope they will both 1910 74 results. But our chief friends are the dear Wyndhams who are 1910 249 I lunched with the Wyndhams. Then Mme de Filippi took Miss van D 1911 2766 conduct of Mr Loraine and the Wyndhams. What unspeakable behaviour 1905 1439 Yesterday there introduced himself to me a nice Wynn Finch boy 1909 3681 of Bridge. I had a very agreeable evening at Wynyard and stayed 1909 3612 little speech. She also invited me to go to Wynyard on the 23rd so I 1909 1598 place where it was whon Xenophen saw it - so I'm told. On Monday 1909 689 two invaders, Cyrus and Julian, and what with Xenophon 1909 1646 me the most delightful camp. Now I must see what Xenophon 1909 760 Xenophon also mentions a ruined city which I make out to 1909 1996 murdered the Greek generals, here Xenophon began his command, and just 1909 2451 same when Xenophon passed this way, though the Parthians had not in 1909 1999 Xenophon saw the great Assyrian city of Calah standing in 1909 682 part of the Euphrates is as Xenophon says exceedingly boring. He does 1909 2458 rocky Kurdish hills and parted company with Xenophon, to my great 1905 148 Nothing very interesting in it, but a few Xian 1907 2226 Greek priest arrived - Halva Dere is partly Xian - and told me of 5 1909 3077 Sultan fell, the anti Xian agitation went out like a candle. That 1909 3080 Moslem, Xian and Jew in a village an hour or two away and 1905 2603 with their arms help up in the customary early Xian attitude to 1907 1041 long before the Xian era, sacred to Artemis of the lake who was 1909 3279 another, these Cappadocian Xian things are so puzzling that I felt I 1909 2160 and rode for a couple of hours to a Xian village called Karakosh where 1907 1634 general conclusion is that all the Xian work is very late- 10th 1909 3318 and details and the direct progenitor of the Xian work. It was 1909 3282 first Pagan and then Xian, near at hand - Comana in the mountains to 1909 2812 protecting the Xians and avenging the Adana massacres. It will end in 1907 1416 tiresomeness the early Xians beat all other people hollow. However 1907 1049 was sacrificial; at any rate the Xians use the chamber now to 1909 3405 moment had come when the Xians were going to take their revenge on the 1909 3411 the troops took part. They also murdered the Xians. I do 1909 3063 he should give them the word to fall upon the Xians. This quite 1907 1154 had broken down an hour from Yalorach and the man had gone back to 1907 1134 left Yalorach early on Sunday, 6 AM which is the appointed 1907 1148 swollen eye to the heaviness of the air at Yalorach, but I think my 1907 1027 Friday May 3.

They 1907 984 Yemen. You see how these disastrous wars destroy the 1911 317 and what in the Yemen, the latest news from the Jebel Druze and from 1905 1348 know but it was very like the oldest script of Yemen, Sabaean and 1909 2500 the outposts of the empire - and then probably a Yezidi 1909 2228 springs must certainly form part of the Yezidi faith, as you will 1909 2245 Sheikh Adi, which is the Yezidi holy place. (The reason I have 4 1909 2223 reliefs.

I have seen Yezidis before, in the 1911 2347 a couple of years ago the Yezidis were ceaselessly at war with the 1911 2379 the crags.

At York I hid successfully from Mr Lang 1909 3787 The train was absurdly crowded today. At York I looked about for a 1909 3751 Mr P talks of being in Yorkshire early in Oct and I've asked whether 1911 1525 news, I think the Yorkshire Club episode almost passes belief. It is 1909 3478 "with a grim smile" (vide the Yorkshire Post). It seems so very 1909 2102 to say he would receive them at noon. As Mr Young 1907 580 asked at once for Mr Young but he has gone to Trebezond, to everyone's 1909 2141 left, Mr Young coming with me to the ferry - the bridge I need 1909 2129 Mr Young had a large luncheon party; the German consul 1909 2132 met our French colleague.

"He was my enemy" replied Yunis 1905 2403 man and 1500 to the judge." objected Yunis and here I put an end to 1905 2405 liked being carried off. "Without doubt" said Yunis. "It 1905 2400 "Ey wallah" (ie of course) said Yunis, a little put out by Mahmud's 1907 1999 in the grassy bottom of a big crater. There is a Yuruk 1905 3212 couple of tiny Yuruk camps near the one place where there was a 1905 3232 place marked on the map proved to be a Yuruk cemetary and met 2 Yuruks 1905 3393 to sleep. The village consists of some 15 Yuruk families who have 1905 3232 the map proved to be a Yuruk cemetary and met 2 Yuruks 1905 3220 Yuruks and me.

Some of the Yuruks' horses were stolen 3 weeks ago 1905 823 there - if there were any anywhere. This morning Yusef 1905 793 My host was a well to do inhabitant of Salt, Yusef 1905 1202 I set off with a Druze zaptieh, name of Yusef and 1905 1244 - a kind of soup, not very good. My Zaptieh, Yusef and I 1911 1631 depends on what sort of a man Yusef Pasha shows himself to be. My old 1911 2083 wallah! he works all night." This was Yusef Pasha who was sent to 1911 1591 a man of sense, Yusef Pasha. He has sown it by arresting, in the 1905 780 installed in the house of Yusef Succur, whthw his nephew and children 1905 1249 3 beds, one on each side of the mak'ad, and Yusef, the Sheikh and I 1905 3608 to press at once. Tongith he has asked Yves Guyer to dinner because I 1911 975 path across barren water courses to 'Ain Za'zu. The 1911 2096 Lesser Zab at Altun Keupri. Here we crossed the Zab by a 1909 1997 beyond the Zab the Greeks turned and defeated the archers of 1909 1991 the greater Zab with the Tigris. The whole world shone like a 1911 2126 down the left bank of the Lesser Zab, through a delightful country of 1905 2132 the Zabit and another and 2 soldiers. We rode over the 1905 2124 We were 6, the Kaimakam and I, the Kady, the Zabit and 2 1905 2143 Zabit, the cousin and the other party - I don't know 1905 2112 last night (one of them is the Zabit, the head military officer of the 1911 2514 called Deir Zafran, about an hour and a half from Mardin.

All the Zagarit were very smart 1911 1178 to Shetatha and we are left with the men of the Zagarit who 1911 1170 I carried a letter to Sheikh Sukheil of the Zagarit, a sub 1909 2347 in about noon. Zakho lies mostly on an island in the middle of the 1909 2346 as best we might. We found camp pitched at Zakho when we got 1909 2671 Chelabi and Fattuh and all the party rode off to Zakhuran 1909 2726 the honour of the Chelabi. But when we got to Zakhuran - we were 1909 2651 lying on the path to Zakhuran and later in the day, a shepherd brought 1909 2758 I haven't much pity for the villagers of Zakhuran for when 1909 2738 to two Christian villages in the hills - Zakhuran is Moslem 1909 2680 they found another glove upon the Zakhuran road, which was 1909 2685 zaptiehs all went off to Zakhuran to renew the process of 1909 2703 Zakhuran. I have seldom spent a more unhappy evening. I 1909 2648 a clue. In the afternmoon three men from Zakhuran, a village about 2 1909 2699 child had fled from Zakhuran, carrying with them all the sheep and 1909 2725 the camp into Midyat and went off with Fattuh to Zakhuran, to 1905 3780 to meet his friend Zakrewsky. We were a square party and it was most 1905 3782 like Zakrewsky, little Russians, or was he talking a l'usage 1905 3262 the maps. So I arose and called the name of Zander blessed and 1910 643 at midnight and get to Zara at 4.30 AM, inopportune hours for arriving 1910 664 sea and islands - and eating oranges. We got to Zara at 9 PM and the 1910 672 see Zara. It too is on an island, walled, and with the 1910 494 be surprised to learn that I mean to try and see Zara, Pola 1909 720 fixed, I rather hope, the site of a town called Zeitha mentioned by A 1909 693 passed, called in his turn Zeitha; I think I have found out where it 1909 723 Keipert tentatively puts Zeitha, it was not Arab; there was no Arab 1911 3072 arrangements and Zekiyyeh came on board to say goodbye to me. Also Dr 1911 3075 Fattuh and Zekiyyeh stayed on board till the last moment - when it 1911 3061 neuralgia. I also insisted that his wife, Zekiyyeh, should come too 1905 3759 this year. And I've never been to Zermatt at all and all those 1905 3757 climb all August in consequence - at Zermatt! and I'm so pleased I 1911 2996 languid. Birejik is the Zeugma, one of the most famous of the 1905 3339 ed Din Zimmi the great Persian is buried there. My visit to 1909 266 village with a Ziyara on it, the grave of a holy man with a mosque 1909 2231 them with Zoroastrianism. I have seen Yezidis before, in the
