Dr. Howard Carter,
2, Princes Gate Court,
LONDON, S.W. 7.

Dear Dr. Carter,

In pursuing my enquiries as to the red tone of the gold on the discs from the covering of Tut-ankh-Amen, the Deputy Master of the Melbourne Mint has given me the information appended herewith - as the result of some of his experiments.

This is a point that indicates the reason of the red tint on the discs - it also suggests that the red is inherent and comes to the surface.

Will you accept this, my first contribution, with my compliments.

I hope to send further information later.

Kind regards,

Yours sincerely,

James R. Ogden

JRO/SER.
