1953: McFadden's death (2 of 2)

unwilling to let us have it outright, could you perhaps them on the possibility of letting us have the use of they leave under such terms as they see fit to set? sured both cars here in the name of the University Muse coverage, and with Sir Panyotis' consent.

e list of "Mr. McFadden's private property..." I have the gardening equipment, as you suggested, to be passe to the Cyprus Museum.

he lengthy list of books I had originally thought to a s archaeological works. Sir Panyotis suggested that we a hole lot, exclusive of those which Mrs. Ewing asked for being that the non-archaeological books are largely s or non-fiction with little saleable value, and it wou the estate's trouble to try to get rid of them in the I have accordingly asked for the lot.

re going ahead with the valuation of the material. At tis'request I have attempted to set a value on the book hat local dealers could not cope. I have also gotten s from local dealers on the two cars and the camera equ have reached for this material amounts to about $3,000 ial remaining to be valued may perhaps bring the total $3,500, I should think. Sir Panyotis may re-grade my possibly in our favor, so this figure need not be passe Ewing at this point, unless you see fit.

Panyotis believes that this would be a good time to dis ocks. He has asked me for a letter stating that we are o have him proceed. Since I now know your views I am im to go ahead, and asking him to deposit the proceeds count in Limassol.

dogs and horses are now all gone. The groom-gardener, ho cared for them and for the orchard, I am keeping on, lf his salary from the excavation funds, and half, for of the orchard, I am c harging (and I think, properly) count of the es tate. I don't feel that the care of th s chargeable to the Museum, and presumably it's the obligation until such time as the property is turned ov prus Museum. This I will take up with Sir Panyotis.

n't think of anything else which is sufficiently jelled p with you now. I will write again as things develop. t likely that I may be away in Greece in the first half er, to finish up some work at the Agora which I had pro odney had suggested that I go at this point. If estate re well in hand, as I hope, I shall plan to be gone fro 4th to the 15th or 20th. Address: American School of Studies, 54 Speusippos St., Athens.
