December 14, 1945Dear Mr. McFadden:

Thank you so much for your letter outlining the Curium and Acropolis projects and the enclosed check in the amount of one thousand dollars. I understand this to be your initial contribution toward the resumption of the work in Cyprus and that it is to be cabled immediately, less cable expenses, to the Ottoman Bank, Limassol, to be credited to the Curium Excavations account.

It is so thrilling to be in the field again and we are terribly grateful to you for making this possible.

Very sincerely,

Handwritten: signature
