Letter from Emmett L. Bennett, Jr., to Thomas G. Palaima, date unknown
Bennett discusses the valuable correspondence he has saved and some he has thrown out.
Professor Palaima estimates this letter to have been written in early 2005, prior to Bennett's brief move to Austin. John here refers to Emmett's son John Bennett (with two t's; not the scholar John Bennet, with one). "Toni" refers to the woman Palaima calls "the great love of Bennett's life." This is not Antony Erich Raubitschek, who customarily signed off his notes to Bennett as "Toni." Gife refers to the stie of the First International Mycenological Conference. We thank Professor Palaima for taking the time to clarify these.Classic

Letters from Emmett L. Bennett, Jr. to Thomas G. Palaima, May 27 and May 31, 1994
The letter addressed May 31st comes first and is split into two halves. The first half is a general address to several colleagues in which Bennett outlines his plans for the summer. The second half is addressed specifically to Palaima, and touches upon academic issues pertinent to both himself and Bennett. The May 27th letter comes at the end. In it Bennett addresses the challenges of making computer entries for the Pylos tablets.
We thank Professor Palaima for sitting down with us to confirm the names and shed light on the letter. The "JTGP" in the header is an example of Bennett's humor.Classic
