Ras Shamra, 15 Nov. 51.

Dear Mr. Megaw,

Thank you for your letter of Nov. 8 which reaches me in the middle of a particular interesting season at RS which is famous ? an unsuspected ? ? [illegible] ? ? [illegible] an unsuspected entrance (?) of the palace particularly rich in unicorn habit. [illegible]

Your letter covers all the drawn points and I have no further comment on the draft memorandum.

Weather here is fine nice nearly 3 weeks a continuous to look good.

With kind regards to Mrs Megaw,

Yours sincerely C.F.A. Schaeffer
