All these objects come from tomb groups which, according your index to Bamboula Tombs, were assigned to Nicosia. Some seem to have gone to Pafla, instead (o.g. tomb 15) and perhaps others did too. Could you have a check made to see exactly which of the tomb are in Philadelphia and let us know? Bevvy did an inventory of every thing here in the fall, and these Items are not checked off as being at Episkopi. There are so many gold objects among the missing that I wonder if there wasn't some hidden-note for them that we don't know about. However, if you will let us know what you have and what you do want then know how to proceed.

One other smaller matter. When Bevvy was leaving I asked her to take along a cast of a mould for a terracotta which Joe found to send to the Youngs when she got to America. The good, conscientious girl took along not only the cast but the mould too! So the Youngs write me. Of course it has to come back so I have written Sue to send it on to you, for transport back to Curium by the hand of whoever may be coming this way (Dick Stillwell? Macridy?). Could you do that little thing, yes?
