Enkomi - Alasia Expedition house, 29.XI. 1962.

Dear Sir,

I would be grateful to be authorized to export temporarely for study the items listed below and described in the inventory which is enclosed. — I would also be glad to take out some cardboxes of fragments of terra cotta idols to be restaured and drawn as as well as some boxes of sherds for study. These finds are not included in the inventory.

I shall return them when I come back to Cyprus in 1963 for my next season of excavations, except for the sherds which might be useful until the final publication.

Yours sincerely C. F. A. Schaeffer.
