Nicosia, 26th May 1947.

No. 68/47

Handwritten: Dear George,

Many thanks for the cheque for the trial dig at Sotira, for which I enclose a receipt.

We shall let you know what balance remains at the end of the work to be used for larger operations at a later date if your Expedition decides that such would be worth while.

I take the opportunity to confirm that the finds from the trial will be divided between the Expedition and the Museum.

Dikaios is busy at Kalavassos, where I have not been as yet. We will let you know when he will be moving to Sotira.

Handwritten: Yours sincerely,
