Nicosia, 3rd July, 1953.

Dear Dr. Schaeffer,

In reply to your letter of 22nd June, I presume that the article in "the Times" to which your German correspondent refers must derive from the press communiqué released by the Public Information Office here in September 1952 after our last campaign. No doubt the Times correspondent reported this but I am afraid I do not know the date on which the Times made use of it. I think we sent you the text of this communiqué at the time but, in case we did not, I enclose a copy.

Handwritten: Yours sincerely

Director of Antiquities.

Dr. C.F.A. Schaeffer, M.A., D. Litt., Le Castel Blanc, 14, Rue Turgot, St. Germain-en-Laye.
