DEPARTMENT OF ANTIQUITIES, CYPRUS.

Nicosia, 19th January 1948.

No. 3/35/4 Telephones: D/Ants. 64 Office 61

Handwritten: Dear George,

I enclose in triplicate the certificate of Antiquity for which you asked in your letter of 15th January. I hope this will enable Pete Daniel to clear the Kalorizki consignment. I return your bill of lading.

We have had the reproduction made of the tripod so that this is now ready for despatch. If no earlier opportunity of getting it back to Episkopi presents itself, I suggest you collect it when next you are in Nicosia.

Handwritten: Yours ever,

Handwritten: Peter

G.H.McFadden Esq., Curium Excavations, Episkopi.

P.S. Many thanks for the cheque for the Calendars. [handwritten: I am sorry I have not been able to return it, but the Bank wants for the remainder to be cashed in words of x]
