October 16, 1953Collector of Customs Limassol, Cyprus

Dear Sir:

I am writing to request that you grant the University Museum's expedition in Cyprus at Curium the benefits of customs exemption for archaeological equipment as you have so kindly done in the past. A box of expedition equipment has been shipped to Dr. George Roger Edwards at Curium Excavations, Episkopi, Limassol Cyprus and should be arriving in a few days.

This institution would be grateful if you could grant this request.

Sincerely yours,

Froelich Rainey Director
