Dear George, Thank you for your of 6th June. I quite understand your not wanting to leave Episkopi until the last possible minute. If you are up in time perhaps you will lunch with us on the 14th.

I hope Dikaios is getting good results at Sotira. I should like to see the site myself and propose to come down on Tuesday next. I thought of going out there in the early afternoon and will call at Episkopi on my way in case you would like to come out with me. In the evening I want to bring Dikaios in to Limassol to discuss the conversion of the Castle for Museum uses. Would you mention this to him please?

As I need to start get back here early Wednesday, I think I shall spend the night in Limassol, where I have much to discuss with Joe.

Yours ever Peter.

George McFadden Esq. Curium Excavations.
