Dear Dr. Jones,

I am writing to let you know that my grandfather died in his sleep last night. He had not been ill and was quite as bright as ever. He was not able to dig as he used to but he knew more about Egyptian archaeology anyone at the American University here in Cairo or anywhere else. Everyone still came to him for advice and information.

He asked me a few years ago to let you know when he passed. I remember you coming to visit when I was a child and Father told wonderful tales of your adventures in the 1930s. I am amazed at how much the world has changed since then. I am, of course, named for you.

Grandfather said to tell you that no matter what you believed, he would be waiting with your father and Mr. Brody on the other side. He said there must be a few artifacts there for the best digger in Egypt to find.

He left Mrs. Jones a beautiful piece of jewelry that he was given in appreciation for his help in cataloging the artifacts from one of the pyramid digs he helped with. It will be coming in a separate package.

Sincerely yours,
Kamal Henry Faisel

This was from Sallah's grandson. He was Grandfather's friend when he and Grandmother found the Lost Ark.
