Description
Ventris mentions that his previous proposal is receiving criticism and that he feels that criticism
is warranted; however, he is excited to send Bennett an experimental wordlist with syllabary. He
expresses that he sent the same list to Blegen and is excited to see it applied to the Pylos
tablets. Additionally, he references the 'signary' controversy and apologizes for creating tension
by sharing his opinion.
