There is one other matter that perhaps you wouldn't mind taking care of for me. I have M 10 and M 11 listed as two lumps of metal, but without any definite statement as to what kind. Do you think you could pick these up at Episkopi some time, and take them to the laboratory of the museum in Nicosia to be analysed for identification (bronze, iron, lead, etc.)? I should be very much obliged to you for this.

The drawing you made for me of T.4 (Bamboula) has appeared in AJA (with credit given you in a footnote), and I will send you a reprint as soon as I receive some. I understand you did well in Turkey!? I'm really glad to know you're doing the remaining Bamboula-Kalorizki drawings as you are accurate and dependable.

Very best wishes to you and your family. Let me hear from you if you have any questions in connection with the instructions contained in this letter.

Best regards,
