Dear Mr. Megaw, I confirm my letter dated mai 19th. — I receive a letter from the Antiquaries Society, that the session of 1952 is over and that it is too late to exhibit the cup there. Ad acta. The first bounded copies of Enk. - Alasia I are available. The vol. weights 3 1/2 kilos and would cost a fortune to be send by air. Should I waite until I come to Cyprus in September or should I send a copy by ordinary mail ? There will be one copy for you, one f. Dikaios and another for the Service des Ant. The copy already send could be taken as the second copy which according to your statuts should be delivered by the excavator. I hope Ill. L. N. has reached you. Yours sincerely

C F A Schaeffer.
