Proposal

Limassol, 13 th June 1934.

Mr, Hill, American Antiquary, Curio-Episkopi.

Dear Sir!

I confirm my previous letter of the 5th instant, but unhappily, till now I have not an answer of you of this consideration.

Therefore, I beg to write you again and to give you more informations, as follows;

I know 2. places not very faar from Limassol's towng. in which there are many silver, and gold ancients, or tresuries, and I am wil ling after a due conference, to gow with you and to show them to begin excavations.

Be pleased, in the meantime to ask a permissi on of the government, in order to begin work in this sommer season or later.

Consequently, I assure you, that these two loca lities are unknown to another persons, because I am 62 years old and I heard many times some lords to make questions for these places.

Awaiting your kind reply. I remain gentleman with my best salu tations, Yours faithfully, A. K. Michaelites
