January–April 1954

N.B.Dear J. Roger: [right aligned: Apr. 20-54] Pages of Apr. 10 this morning - probably before, but with Easter weekend I was not in from Thursday PM to this morning. The sum for the passages was the entire sum- including the deposits. We made no advance here, and drew nothing from the Chase bank account. I am writing Dick that he had best pay the Museum the 3175.80 [deletion, underlined: minus] 2500, or 675.80. He will have further expenses, Athens - Cyprus & return etc. and as we will not be pressed for money can make any final adjustment (which will be no great sum in any case) on his return to U.S. Tamam? I went to see the director to make another effort to get him to try to have Ewing pay in the $3600, only to discover that he will be away on a lecture tour until Friday - so as Kidder knows little about this business, I guess it will have to wait until Friday at least. We made another root through the Cyprus files & found, from Virginia's list item: II 3 - Copy of VG catalogue cards of objects from Trench 43 II 4 - Copy of VG report on excavations in trench 43 II 5 - List of films as recorded in GHM^cF notebooks. II 6 - Descriptive list of Objs. buried for safety in June-July 41 II 7 - Frame by frame description of Leica films exposed by VG for Curium. Let me know which if any of them you really want, surely not #6, and hardly #5 if you have the notebooks - For I - Envelopes containing photographic prints - we find no traces: but the annotation by VG "the films remain in Cyprus" seems to make its meaning. II. 1 - probably out of date, as per-Ellen. II. 2. surely irrelevant. II 10 - Given to GHM^cF to bring, Feb 6. 1946: probably in Villa-Nova. What do you really want done about these things? N.B. - I have 2 permits for coins sent by you, but no trace so far of any coins yet. N.B. B.B. No permit business needed here for English packets. When I left Greece in ?1949 it is my impression that I left with you a list of North Cemetery pots in the Cyprus
