Dear Professor C. Schaeffer,

With reference to your letter to Mr. Dikaios asking whether the site at Enkomi could be reserved for you for a period of five years, I am informed by the Government that it is not possible under the law definitely to reserve a site; but that, before a licence is issued to any other person during the period, reference will be made to you.

I am sorry that it is not possible to be more definite.

Yours very sincerely,

J. R. Hilton.
