January 10, 1940To the Bureau of Passports Custom House Building 2nd and Chestnut Streets Philadelphia

Dear Sirs:-

Miss Virginia Grace is a member of the staff of the Museum's Expedition to Cyprus. She wishes to sail early in February to resume her scientific work in this connexion. It is necessary for her to go via Greece in order to make preliminary studies.

I should appreciate it if you could expedite the issuance of her passport and have it so ordered that she can have authority to stop in Greece before reaching Cyprus.

Yours very truly

Horace H. F. Jayne Director
