March 26, 1959A.H.S.Megaw, Esq. Director of Antiquities Cyprus Museum Nicosia, Cyprus

Dear Peter:

You will be glad to hear that action is in progress toward producing the prints of Curium mosaics, etc., which you requested while you were in America. It will take some time yet, since a total of some 40 to 50 prints are involved, but do not despair. If there are any which you will need in a hurry, let me know and I will see that they get special attention.

I have also made representations about supplying you with examples in duplicate of the bronze fawn and three terracottas of which we have made reproductions. The decision has not yet been handed down.

The Byzantine gold girdle is, of course, included with your other photographic requests.

With all good regards to you and Elektra and all Cypriote friends.

Sincerely,

G. Roger Edwards
