May–December 1954

- 3 -

I expect I shall have to order some supplies for Curium before I leave. Am awaiting word from Joe Last so as to know what to order. Bills for these will, no doubt, come in in course of summer.

The remaining funds should be made available to me in Curium in whole or in part beginning as of Sep. 1, 1953. Instalments perhaps may be more practical from this end, I don't know.

Disposal of various items of bequest:

$10,000. by direct legacy will no doubt be paid in Philadelphia.

Stocks probably will have to be sold in Cyprus and funds realized used for Curium program.

Certificates for:

390 shares Fassouri project. Have been found at Curium 5 shares Fassouri, founders' or preferred stock. Not yet found. 1000 shares Cyprus Airways. Not yet found. Supposed other small investment. Not yet found.

Suggest contacting Mr. Ewing to find out if the certificates not yet found are in Philadelphia. Also, should certificate or certificates now in Curium be returned to America for transfer, or will the estate appoint some representative in Cyprus who will be able to transfer them to me?

If the latter, I will need some official authority to accept and sell the stocks. Also, good advice as to how to dispose of them to the best advantage.

Personal property not specifically mentioned in will:

Mrs. Harrison is stated to be in agreement that these should come to the Museum. We will, however, need more than a verbal agreement for taking over some or all of this property.

Curium bank account G.H.McF's personal account [handwritten: )]

Need specific authority to draw on these, surely. J. Last apparently can now draw on the Curium account. Authority to draw should be made out to me as of Sept. 1

Cars:

Now no doubt in George's name. Will need to be transferred to UM or to me before sale. How will transfer be accomplished?

Livestock:

Possibly no authority needed for sale?
