<persName ref="#Andrews_Emma_B">Emma B. Andrews</persName> is best remembered
for her association with the millionaire lawyer turned archaeologist/art and
antiquities collector, <persName ref="#Davis_Theodore">Theodore M.
Davis</persName>. Traveling to <placeName ref="#Egypt">Egypt</placeName>
with him between 1889 and 1912, she kept detailed journals of these voyages
along the <placeName ref="#Nile_River">Nile</placeName>, including his important
yet under-reported excavations of 20 significant tombs in the <placeName
ref="#Valley_of_the_Kings">Valley of the Kings</placeName>. <persName
ref="#Andrews_Emma_B">Emma</persName> provides a vital commentary on the
archaeology and pioneering Egyptologists of the time. She paints a revealing
picture of the lives of the colonial gentry and the cultural and scientific
literati in <placeName ref="#Egypt">Egypt</placeName> at the dawn of the
twentieth century. To date, her diaries are unpublished; analysis of the
contents of 19 volumes will afford scholars and a general audience information
about an important historical resource for the first time. Since its inception
in 2010, the scope of our project has broadened to include the transcription and
digitization of a wide range of primary historical material from the 'Golden
Age' of Egyptian archaeology detailed in the Research section of this website.
The Emma B. Andrews Diary Project is one of the founding partners of Newbook
Digital Texts. We are proud to offer undergraduate and graduate Digital
Humanities education and internships.</p>

<p>We have roared at <persName ref="#Winlock_Ethel">Ethel</persName>s letters but we
deprecate the two children's tendencies towards unrestraint and turkey trotting
since <persName ref="#Winlock_Helen">Helen</persName>'s steadying influence has
gone</p>

<p>We don't approve of turkey trotting but then maybe we are of a past generation - old
fogy married folks.</p>
<p>Dear<persName ref="#Chandler_Mrs"> Mrs. Chandler</persName></p>
<p>Well here we are in <placeName ref="#London">London</placeName> still on our
honeymoon. It's quite a story and I will have to go way back and take it up where
<persName ref="#Winlock_Helen">Helen</persName> left off at <placeName
ref="#Highclere">Highclere</placeName>. She's been trying to make me write for a
week now and and I've been putting it off for her to write and so several chapters
of our novel have come out without you getting the installments. First for the
illustrations. There are three of <persName ref="#Ermintrude_Lady">Lady
Erminitrude</persName> and two of <persName ref="#Algy_Lord">Lord
Algy</persName> at their cozy little shooting box down in <placeName
ref="#Berkshire">Berks</placeName>. (In two the shooting box creeps into the
back ground). <persName ref="#Carnarvon_Lord">Lord Carnarvon</persName> took</p>
<pb n="2"/>
<p>one of <persName ref="#Ermintrude_Lady">Lady Erminitrude</persName> and <persName
ref="#Algy_Lord">Lord Algy</persName> together and had it enlarged so big - two
feet by three - that it won't get into this envelope. He sent <persName
ref="#Winlock_Helen">Helen</persName> a great big print yesterday with his name
down in the corner just like a professional photographer. When the Lords are
abolished he will be a success at his trade.</p>
<p>Well we left <placeName ref="#Highclere">Highclere</placeName> on a Monday morning
with <persName ref="#Johnny_Dr">Dr. Johnny</persName> - a name that sounds as
peculiarly flippant as the man who is tagged with it. But its only a disguise for
one of the best of the younger London surgeons. I believe <persName
ref="#Winlock_Helen">Helen</persName> has mentioned him before. We got back here
to the rooms and had a joyful time unpacking. <persName ref="#Dexter_Mary">Mary
Dexter</persName> had given us a rather footless lecture on the superiority of
English servants and we had a fine sample of it. The ploughboy and milk maid who
packed our bags had packed a great boot of mine in one of <persName
ref="#Winlock_Helen">Helen</persName>'s silk slipper covers and jammed her
patent leather slippers loose among my shoes, and then with that for a starter they
had shown a diabolic ingenuity in keeping up their original</p>
<pb n="3"/>
<p>ideas of packing. We saw <persName ref="#Dexter_Mary">Mary Dexter</persName> next day
and told her.</p>
<p>During the next two days we kept up our [rounds] of showing off <persName
ref="#Winlock_Helen">Helen</persName>'s swell dresses at the swellest places. We
had lunch with <persName ref="#Harcourt_Smith_Sir_Cecil">Sir Cecil</persName> and
<persName ref="#Harcourt_Smith_Lady">Lady Harcourt-Smith</persName> in
<placeName ref="#South_Kensington">South Kensington</placeName> and had tea at
the <orgName ref="#Lyceum_Club">Lyceum Club</orgName> with a great aunt of my
Sister <persName ref="#Helen_Sister">Helen</persName>'s. We bought saddles, our
boots were finished, <persName ref="#Winlock_Helen">Helen</persName> tried on her
riding habits, our wicker straw chairs and <persName ref="#Chandler_Ethel"
>Ethel</persName>s lunch basket with the gold rimmed plates came from the Army +
Navy stores and finally we packed four heavy trunks with useless stuff and sent them
by long sea around to <placeName ref="#Marseilles">Marseilles</placeName>.</p>
<p><persName ref="#Winlock_Helen">Helen</persName> meanwhile had been feeling a bit out
of sorts. We laid it down at first to our last spree - dinner at the Berkley, the
theatre and supper at the <name type="hotel" ref="#Savoy">Savoy</name> but by
Thanksgiving day she was sort of miserable. I sent for <persName ref="#Johnny_Dr"
>Dr. Johnny</persName> next day because I know him well. To cut it short she
probably got a chill at <placeName ref="#Highclere">Highclere</placeName> which
developped into <hi rend="underline">coli cystitis</hi>. That it seems is the way
doctors express having little worms with wriggly bodies and yellow eyes and gaping
mouths</p>
<pb n="4"/>
<p>that chew your bladder. <persName ref="#Johnny_Dr">Dr. Johnny</persName> has seen her
daily. We vetoed the idea of a trained nurse or a nursing home and he has taken us
under his charge and seen that everything is all right. The worst of its all over
and she's on the mend now so don't worry. We are taking every precaution and
<persName ref="#Johnny_Dr">Dr. J</persName> is a notoriously cautious person and
I really don't think she can help bring well in a week. Meantime we have put off
sailing another two weeks. Fortunately I ran across a chance of purchasing a
collection of manuscripts for <persName ref="#Morgan_J_P">J.P.M.</persName> which
involves about <measure type="currency">$40,000</measure> and that I have had orders
from <placeName ref="#New_York">New York</placeName> to stay here for so <persName
ref="#Winlock_Helen">Helen</persName>'s little flurry has nothing to do with our
being late to <placeName ref="#Egypt">Egypt</placeName>.</p>
<p>Now this you needn't read to the family. She's been a perfect dear, this wife of
mine. An illness like this on a honeymoon might be supposed to cast a gloom over
things but she is such a darling its just brought us closer together and we've had a
regular picnic out of it. She has been wonderfully good a patient just <persName
ref="#Winlock_Helen">Helen</persName> in fact - and I think she is happy - I am
sure she is. With love <persName ref="#Winlock_Herbert">Herbert</persName>.</p>
