December 10, 1953Mr. John Kennedy Ewing Saul, Ewing, Remick & Saul 23rd Floor Packard Building Philadelphia 2, Pennsylvania

Dear Mr. Ewing:

I just have yours of December 8th regarding the equipment at Curium to be purchased by the University Museum from the estate. Enclosed here is the listing of material prepared by Roger Edwards and you will note that everything corresponds except Item 3 on Edwards' listing and Item 10 on Sir Cacoyannis' listing. That is, Edwards apparently wants the Leica camera with meter which you did not list in your letter. Perhaps it is just oversight in the listings. I am afraid the total amount is somewhat more than we anticipated, but I hope that this still can be included under additional funds to be supplied by the executors out of the $10,000.00.

A recent letter from Roger Edwards indicates everything is going well there and he hopes to finish up right after September in order to turn over the site to the Cyprus government, although I understand that the Cyprus government has not yet made a decision about the house at Episkopi.

Sincerely,
