<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 <name type="river" ref="#Nile">Nile</name>, 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 To date, her diaries are unpublished; analysis of the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>Dearest <persName ref="#Chandler_Mrs">mother</persName>.</p>
<p>When I think what I have to tell
you it nearly makes me cry but I am
so happy that I manage to refrain and
get sort of hysterical in consequence. The
point of it is that I am engaged to <persName ref="#Winlock_Herbert">Herbert</persName>
and there is no doubt about it that we
each can make the other bubble with
delight. I hope you like him. I think
he has changed a good deal in the
last four years so he probably has
a lot since he went to college </p>
<pb n="2"/>
<p>any way we seem to fit in together very
handily and the sun shines every day
even in cloudy weather. It makes me
feel benign and delighted with everything
and please like him for my sake
even if you don't for his. However
I have no reason to believe you dont
except that mother said you had
picked out Paul who doubtless would
have done as well had the spark
been kindled but there's the rut.
Any way I am contented so is <persName ref="#Winlock_Herbert">Herbert</persName>
which is the chief thing. Don't</p>
<pb n="3"/> <!-- sideways -->
<p>tell any body till you see us as we have been waiting
to have it all out with you first. But before I finish
I must say that it changes everything from gloom
to glamor and I am what is known as radiant
and I love everybody and you one of the most. That is the hard part of it you
just coming back after so long a time away and I on the point of leaving
but while we are together lets make the most of it.
It will be the best thing possible to have you back
again and the family are counting the moments.</p>
<pb n="4"/>
<p>Its a big thing, what I am going to do
and I hadn't got quite settled in
my mind about it yet except its the
only thing for me.</p>
<p>I am writing this at the Bruditchs. Mea sends her best. Mrs B. has had
the ceiling lowered in this room so as
not to offend your exquisite eyes for
proportion and we all will be waiting on
the wharf to greet you. 1000 kisses
from <persName ref="@#Winlock_Helen">Helen</persName> your lovingest sister.
