7th December, 1956

Handwritten: Dear Roger.

Thanks for yours of November 27. Since G.28 is also from a tomb we would like to have G.61, which I think duplicates G.69, one of the two you are now retaining.

I think if you ship the case containing the coins in the ordinary way they should come to no harm, provided we know the names of the ship and of the local agent. We should then be able to arrange that it should have careful treatment at the hands of the Customs.

I suggest 500 dollars as the valuation for insurance, on the assumption that the coins are Roman Bronze.
