No. 120 / 38. SUBJECT: CYPRUS, 4th July, 1939.

Sir,

In reply to your letter of the 13th June in which you applied for Government assistance in the conservation of the Pavement Mosaics discovered in your excavations at Curium, I have to inform you that His Excellency the Governor has been pleased to approve the Grant of a sum equal to half the cost of this work, but not exceeding £50, for this purpose.

Upon the completion of the work you will no doubt notify me of the total expenditure incurred in order that I may make arrangements for the transfer of the Grant.

I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient Servant,

Handwritten: signature

Director of Antiquities.

The Director, Pennsylvania University Museum Expedition,

Episkopi.
