    English Egyptologist (and later discoverer of Tutankhamun's tomb) Howard Carter wrote this letter to Kingsmill Marrs from an archaeological dig in Luxor, Egypt. The letter contains descriptions of beautiful scenes resulting from the flooding of the Nile River, as well as a prominent sketch of Queen Nefertari on the first page.
