Dear Dr. Edwards:

At its meeting last week our Committee on Publications voted to publish Mr. Last's manuscript on "Kourion: The Ancient Water Supply." I send herewith the comments of the referee, Dr. Homer A. Thompson, and call your attention particularly to his suggestion about the dating of the lamp mentioned on page 31.

In view of the fact that the author is no longer living, will you please sign the enclosed agreement in his place and return it to this office?

Sincerely yours,

Handwritten: George W. Corner
