If this is correct, as I have no real reason to doubt, the amounts due the members of the staff under this arrangement are as follows:

March 15, 1952to Apr. 19, 1953:

Christos Gregoriou £21-0-0 Christophis Polycarpou 20-5-5 Savvas Socratis 14-10-6 Michalis Chrysostomou 11-3-2

and, Nov., 1952 to Apr. 19, 1953:

Neophytos Alexandrou 5-11-2

The total amount due is approximately $204.00 to any individual is approximately $59.00, the smallest $17.00. The largest amount due to any individual is approximately $59.00, the smallest $17.00.

Sir Panayotis feels that if they wish to collect this money they would have to make out legal claims. I have not discussed this aspect of the matter with them. It would be worth their while, in view of the small amounts involved individually, that it would be worth eat up a great deal. I presume if they wished to, since fees would no doubt eat up a great deal. I presume it is within the power of the executors to approve the payment of these amounts without legal fuss. If you see fit to do so, fine; if not, I do not see that anything further can be done.

I enclose a copy of Joe Last's statement on the matter, which may help you to understand the background better than I can express it. except I myself do not propose to take any further part in the matter, as you direct me. Possibly I have already involved myself in it more than you feel I should.

As to Mustapha, about whom you also enquire, I can only pass on what little I have been able to gather. Joe Last tells me that he does not think there was any real "falling-out". As he sees it, Mustapha became independent. He apparently decided that it was time for him to become independent. He seemingly was partly influenced by the erroneous rumor which had gotten about here in Cyprus that George did not intend to leave him at any rate, he left George's service voluntarily in Nov., 1952, retained since that time his wages to date and the 10% which George had indirectly George's old touring car and set himself up in business with it. The relationship between him and George continued to be amicable, apparently, and between the time Mustapha left his service up until the time of George's death in March of the same year, he had been able to drive a car, a daily basis from time to time, going with him on hunting trips. George seems to have taken an interest in his welfare, and felt he should do something for him to help him get started in business, as he had done in the case of Andreas, whom he purchased a plot of land, as you know. In Mustapha's case George apparently intended to buy him a better car for use in his trucking business. Since I am told that George was doing something about this shortly before his death, that he had told Mustapha he would help him in this way, and that he had actually gone around looking for a suitable car for the purpose.
