2 June 1947

Mr F. Neumann Financial Department Dir. Gén. des Relations Culturelles Cyprus

Dear Sir,

You were kind enough to lend me a credit of funds of 1946 to have sent a provisional sum of 500 English pounds (against L 285.000 frs) to the Enkomi Mission (Barclays Bank, Famagusta, current account C.M.F.A.Schaeffer). I have accordingly informed the Council of France at Nicosia by the letter of which a copy is enclosed, a letter which you were kind enough to countersign.

Barclays Bank has just informed me that this sum has still not arrived. The transfer sums, of which the agreement we must pay

You recall the difficulties caused by an evident ill will of the Council in question on the occasion of an earlier transfer. It would be therefore useful for you to send him new and precise instructions so that he sends the sum in question to Famagusta. Thank you in advance and most sincerely.
