Service & maintenance May-August, 1953 Equipment & incidental expenses, petty cash (e.g. photographic, etc.) Plus: (if Fales offer refused) V.R. Grace - transport $500 1000. pay 3500.

Somebody else might be found for less money, but not as good.

*Of these $750 refunds to Gordion which has paid out these sums: Benson $400 out Oberlin $350. back

$4000. $19,000.

If this plan & budget are acceptable all the notebooks should come out: Benson - Apollo Edwards - Bamboula Fales - Theater-palace Oberlin - Mosaic, basilica, city gate.

Balance for basilica - city gate, $1000. (not enough)

Theatre etc. Apollo Bamboula

Or Benson Apollo Edwards Bamboula Theathreor Apollo Grace Theathreor Apollo

This is to be arranged between them. If Grace would not accept we could ask Wace to do Bamboula. I will not speak to the Oberlins until I hear from you. I will try to persuade them to take it on. As soon as the case may be, Grace and/or Wace. Please on Fales I will approach or not as you Tet me know the decision keep me informed promptly. If Roger finds it is too much business to do before his departure, let him delay his departure. We found in Curium sealed, addressed & ready to send George's Ms on the sceptre tomb. It got to the postoffice 5 minutes after closing on the Saturday and was brought back to Curium; after George's death it is not posted. Mr. Hill has passed thiss on it and it will be posted immediately. I am posting this in Istanbul as probably quicker than from Nicosia. Hope this covers everything. RSY

Will draw more money for Gordion and inquire about bronzes in Istanbul Thursday. Return Gordion by night train Thursday.
