1953: McFadden's death (1 of 2)

Handwritten: Kourion Cyprus

July 1, 1953Dear Mr. Ewing:

Many thanks for your letter of the 25th and the enclosed inventory of George's effects in Cyprus. I suppose it would be a good idea to send a copy of this on to Mr. McCouch if you have additional copies, otherwise I can have a copy made here if you prefer.

I wonder when and how we should select the things necessary to the expedition there? Those on the last page seem to be the only things not really personal and of use to the expedition. Do we simply assume that the last page of items are those which the Museum is to buy from the estate? This, of course, would not apply to the dogs and horses. In any case, if there is anything I can do about this, please let me know.

I have now been advised of the $10,000 bequest already transferred to our account and I am sure this will take care of everything for some months to come. Many thanks for this quick transaction.

Sincerely yours,
