8 January 1948Director, the Department of Antiquities, Nicosia, Cyprus.

Dear Peter,

thank you very much for the copy of Mr. Dikaios' report enclosed with your note of January 3rd. The copy which he was kind enough to send me last summer was not to have been for the University Museum. I had not appreciated that Dr. Daniel had asked for one independently. I must accept no blame, as very stupidly I left their being no copy here now, however for his philadelphia in the trouble you have am terribly sorry for all the trouble you have been put to in making so many copies. Two copies Very many thanks to Christo for brought back to us yesterday concerns which I am returning in connection evening with the form in with the approval of the Department John Young to provision for their insurance. You Know, of course, how hard it is to evaluation this sort of thing, would you accept our evaluation of £1000 for insurance purposes? I can't begin to express how much every member of the expedition appreciates the continued and unfailing help and cooperation you and your Department have given us in so many matters.
