June 21, 1955Dear Mr. Douglas:

Here is an arrival notice from the American Export Lines for one case of skeletal material which is arriving today on the S/S EXPEDITOR from Cyprus. This was excavated by a museum expedition to Cyprus and is being sent to us by the Director of Antiquities there for study; it has no commercial value. I am also enclosing the bill of lading and the Cyprus Government license to export antiquities together with a list of the objects. Will you please take care of this for us ?

Sincerely

Geraldine Bruckner Registrar
