Extracts from this letter
"Yesterday Bert Godfrey & I and two more chaps went out to the Sakara [Sakkara] Pyramids which are about 9 miles from the Gizeh [Giza] Pyramids which I have told you we visited previously."
"These pyramids are very much more decayed than the Gizeh [Giza] ones - they are all crumbling away. There is nothing to be seen inside these pyramids, in fact you cannot get inside, so we just looked at them and went on to see the secret tombs of some bygone kings of Egypt. These tombs are supposed to date back to 3400 BC according to our guide."
