CURIUM EXCAVATIONS EPISKOPI, LIMASSOL CYPRUS

13th April, 1949With reference to my letter of February 12th, we are now ready to ship the Philadelphia Tomb Groups to America. As there is a ship due to leave Larnaca on the 25th I wonder if you would issue the necessary export licenses. A statement from your departement that the contents are antiquities over 100 years old will be necessary for clearing through the American Customs. If you can give us one, we will send it along with the bills of lading to the University Museum.

Please let me know if you require more copies of our inventories for these cases.

Director of Antiquities, Cyprus Museum, Nicosia.
