As you know her Ladyship has recently received a sum of money from the Egyptian Government and she wishes to give to you one quarter of the net amount which will remain to her thereout after discharging the various expenses in connection therewith. Lady Carnarvon, as I think you know, greatly appreciates the distinguished service you have rendered in the cause of scientific research and has many gratifying memories of your association with her late husband."

In fine condition, with rusty paperclip impressions to the top edges. Accompanied by Carter's retained copy of his response, expressing his gratitude "for I had and have no legal claim upon her or upon the late Earl of Carnarvon's estate in connection with the Tut-ankh-Amen business."
