9th May, 1949Dear Mrs. Robbins,

With reference to your letter of April 30th, Mr. Hill saw the American Consul General at Nicosia about a month ago, and the consul told him that he was sending the personal effects referred to by registered mail, and the cheques by diplomatic pouch. If he did what he said he was going to do, the cheques may be floating around the State Department somewhere. However, I have written him to say that they had not arrived and that Mrs. Daniel had not received any answer to her letter to the consul of January 12th of which you have enclosed me a copy. The consul also told Mr. Hill at the time that Mr. Daniel's other personal effects would be sent down here as soon as the rest of his clothes arrived from Turkey. I should be hearing from him within a few days and will let you know with what results.

I am enclosing herewith the original bill of lading and one copy for nine (9) cases of antiquities and a certificate of antiquity in triplicate with inventory attached. Each case has its own number marked on it in green paint to facilitate identification on arrival. They are insured for $100. each with the Alliance Assurance Company Ltd., London. They left the port of Larnaca, Cyprus, about ten days ago on the American Export Line ship "Netherlands Victory" which should be calling at Philadelphia in the near future. This is about all the pertinent information I can think of to give you at the moment but please let me know if there is anything I may have overlooked.

Very sincerely yours,
