Dîwâniya, Mesopotamia, 6:30 AM
March 28, 1920
Major Daley, the Political Officer here was down at the station to meet us, and at the same time to send off his little 5 year old daughter and nurse to Baghdad. He took in Luckenbill and me, and the others have gone to the mess. We found Major Daley’s wife ready to receive us in a bright, cheerful “drawing room”, in a house brought together by the Major by joining together several adjacent Arab houses. It is a very pleasing home showing everywhere the presence of a woman.
For the full story of my exciting trip you should come to the special exhibit “Pioneers to the Past: American Archaeologists in the Middle East, 1919-1920,” at the Oriental Institute!
