Nicosia, 20th September, 1950.

Dear Schaeffer,

You will be glad to know that the valise brought by Pironin has reached us safely. I understand from the Collector of Customs that your second letter was handed to Pironin but that in the end he preferred not to take the valise with him to Enkomi. So the case was sealed by the Customs and reached us with seals unbroken.

If you could give us inventory numbers of the items you wish to have at Enkomi for drawing purposes, we could take them down at the first opportunity unless some of your party will be visiting Nicosia earlier.

Yours sincerely,
