The document concerns some antiquities contained in a sealed cabinet, including alabaster and pottery vases, limestone and wooden statues and some fragments bearing inscriptions etc., which are of ordinary quality, the Inspector at Cairo authorising that they can be disposed of and Drioton declaring that he knows the objects and considers them to be almost all fakes, a T.L.S. by Reginald Engelbach (1888-1946) English Egyptologist, one page, 4to, Cairo, 16th March 1940, to Etienne Drioton, in French, politely complaining about the allocation of some rooms used as workshops and stating 'the small room is the only one where Kemal (who carries out small restorations under my direct orders) can deposit his instruments, cement etc. as well as the antiquities on which he works. He is forced to be absent frequently to go to the museum where he also works. We have already given up a lot of space in the past to the workshop which does not depend on us, and they are constantly asking for new favours. In the case of the room in question, we run the risk of having antique objects and materials go missing if their request is approved', with an A.N.S. by Driton at the foot requesting that the Controller of Fine Arts be informed that they will be ready to give up the room as soon as the necessary partition is in place to create another room, a T.L.S. by Battiscombe Gunn (1883-1950) English Egyptologist and philologist who assisted with the translation of ostraca from the tomb of Tutankhamun, one page, 8vo, 9th November 1930, in French, requesting that several objects be sent to the Arab Museum, which he lists as 'A plate, found at Tanta…..A box bearing the indication ''Edfou, Sibakh'', and containing three pieces of green pottery, a box bearing the indication ''Inscribed Arabic terra cotta fragments'', and containing ostraca found in the Sibakh of Edfu', and a second T.L.S. by Gunn, one page, oblong 8vo, Cairo, 3rd February 1929, in French, forwarding two packages and explaining 'One contains sheep bones, inscribed in ink with magical Arabic texts, please send them to the Arab Museum…..The other package contains two stones inscribed in Kufic.
