Handwritten: Dear George,

Thanks for yours of 21st April, enclosing cheque to cover the balance required for the Sotira compensation (receipt for 13/3 herewith) and the licence fee (2/- converted into stamps).

As you requested by telephone, I have had the Controller of Supplies issue an export licence for the 9 cases of the Bamboula tomb groups and phone the Larnaca Customs to clear them.

[handwritten: yours Peter.]
