… fate Curium

Gordion

June 30, 1953Dear Gloria -

I did manage to get a lead on a possible agent to handle the Curium shipment. Mr. Hill suggests that Mandirossan in Limassol would probably be all right.

Mr. Hill didn't seem to know just how one goes about arranging matters with the agent. Perhaps you can get advice from the shipping agent when you get a definite boat for sending the stuff. In the meantime I will write to Joe Last and have him send you the full name and address.

All goes well here. Am digging mountains of the rubble and clay which cover the Phrygian city. My best to you all

Sincerely

Roger Edwards
