… Curium Excavations Episkopi, Limassol Cyprus 17 Mar 54
Dear Geraldine:
I wonder if you could have the following cameras insured under the Museum policy? They are all here in Cyprus now and will be brought back to the Museum when I return. Nos. 1-3 were declared Museum property purchased from the Estate for the Museum. Nos. 5's status is undetermined, since it was overlooked in the process of being declared here, but whether ours or not the inventory of the property here, but whether ours or not should be protected by insurance until I bring it back. I suggest valuations for the Leicas, but don't know about the others. Can you check all with Reuben?
