Nicosia, 28th December, 1948

Handwritten: Dear Sir,

Thank you for yours of 20th December and lists enclosed.

When handing them over we agreed that the next lists to be completed were those of the Bamboula tombs which are going to Philadelphia. 2 copies of these will be needed by us for export licences etc. That is to say -

1-12, 14, 15, 18-23, 25-28, 30, 32, 34, 35, 37.

Regarding the list of Kaloriziki the basket of un-catalogued sherds from tombs 20, 26 and 34 should be sent to the Museum (well labelled with the Bamboula material to avoid confusion with the same time). The remaining items on your list were allocated to the Expedition and should go to Philadelphia.

The finds from Mersinoudhia have not been divided and should remain at Episkopi for the present.

Yours,

Handwritten: Peta

J.S.Last Esq., Curium Excavations, Episkopi.
