… to this letter telling you what is arranged. If there is no postscript, I think you might have somebody inquire at Mandovani's Mm. p.m. on Tuesday for a parcel brought on the "Messapia". It measures 30 x 20 x 26 (lit.) cm. & will be addressed to you c Curium Excavations.

Thanks for the renewed invitation to come and share your troubles and pleasures. I expect to be free to leave here about Mar. 10-15, most likely by air, but perhaps by sea if there is a direct sailing at the right time. I will of course let you know the schedule when I know it myself.

Xairetismata to the six I mentioned above, plus Phytí (if he is with you) and Mrs. Saveri (if she comes in as she used) as well as to any you think would be pleased to be remembered. But don't take any trouble to distribute salutations: I count on saluting all them and others when I come.

Sincerely B. H. Hill

P.S. Just a chance that there may be a way of getting the parcel to Nicosia by air a day or so earlier than the arrival of the Messapia, but I doubt if that would be better for you. So let things stand as above unless you receive a phone message from Nicosia
