14th August, 1956Dear Mr. Benson,

I am enclosing herewith the following drawings:-

P. 889, [handwritten: 1]54, 272, 292, 296, 3??, 2??, and 957.

These are the last ones which were sent to me just when I got your letter and I had to work late at night to have them ready by today so they can reach you about the 21st.

M.205 and 209 were also sent down but I was unable to do any drawing of them. They are broken and badly deceased.

I have sent to Nicosia M. 10 and 11 for analysis so you can be expecting the results from them.

I am glad you liked the drawings and I am looking forward to seeing your publication.

Best wishes and good luck to you

Sincerely yours,
