Dear Professor Schaeffer, This is just to say how pleased I was to see the good results of this year's campaign. I am sure the site of the sanctuary promises surprises during next year's campaign. Courtois may have told you already that I will be very happy if you could send us a press communiqué on the results of the excavations, and if, for my Chronique for 1962 (due to be sent in a month's time) some illustrations, if you do not mind. I think it is always good publicity – though you do not need any yourself, but for Cyprus, that archaeological expeditions are working here. I hope you had a pleasant journey back home. With best wishes to both of you from us both Yours Vassos Karageorghis
