11th March 1947Dear George,

I am taking Jim Stewart with me Paphos next weekend and on Sunday we shall be leaving through Episkopi, where we both look forward to seeing you all. We hope to spend the afternoon with you; but as our movements are uncertain we shall take a picnic lunch & eat on our way from Ktima. We have to get back to Nicosia tonight.

With greetings & several thanks to Joe from Eleftra for the orchids; yours

Peter Megaw
