Dear Dr. Schaeffer,

The Government's Public Information Officer has asked if he could have one or two photographs of the silver bowl for reproduction in the Greek and English editions of the monthly CYPRUS REVIEW. If it would not be too much trouble, would you please send us a couple of glossy prints.

Digging in the deeper levels affecting the north wall has [illegible] complex picture [illegible] details of which [illegible] but it now seems the wall is not all of one [illegible]. There are earlier remains in the area going [illegible].

Sincerely,

Handwritten: A.H.S.Megaw
