January 8, 1948Messrs. E. H. Bailey & Co. Produce Exchange Building Philadelphia, 2

Dear Sirs:

I am sending herewith the endorsed bill of lading covering the sixteen cases which have arrived on the S/S Alma Victory.

I am also sending pro forma invoice, antiquities affidavit, and a letter from the Director of Antiquities in Cyprus concerning the division of the finds of the Expedition with the Cyprus Museum. As it was impossible to obtain a consular invoice, we will get from the Director of the Department of Antiquities a statement which we hope will answer the requirements of Customs.

I am also enclosing cheque for $212. to the order of the American Export Lines.

Sincerely

Registrar
