Disposal of George's personal effects:

How is this accomplished? Thru American consul? Who decides what is George's, what the Museum's and what the Dep't. of Antiquities?

Other matters:

Would it not be advisable for me to have a notarized copy of the will or of such parts as pertain to us? Is this possible? Will filed at Media.

Would like to have official notification sent to the effect that I am the UM's representative and empowered to act for it in business and excavation matters to:

1. Mr. A.H.S. Megaw Director of Antiquities Cyprus Museum Nicosia, Cyprus

2. The American Consul Nicosia, Cyprus

3. & to whoever may act for Mr. estate in Cyprus. [handwritten: ? it = 2]

I have reservation for plane leaving N.Y. on June 13. May have to leave Museum a day or two before that.

With reference to will matters and dealings with Mr. Ewing, am given to understand that the funeral will probably be held about June 15.
