8th May, 1949With reference to Gunther's collection, I understand that the greater part consists of the coin collection. I think young Gunther would insist upon the coin collection remaining intact, but would be willing to make concessions with regard to other antiquities in the collection, if this would make it possible to acquire for the American Philosophical Society the coin collection intact. There are in the chest I'm told a number of other than coins but I don't know what these are.

Director of Antiquities, Cyprus Museum, Nicosia.
