suitable for that purpose. In any case, the two men worked very well together in my presence and I was very satisfied with both of them, and I intend to resume work in the future with both.

I cannot find here one of the notebooks of Coche de la Ferté's which was typed for the greater part by my daughter during her stay at Nicosia first at the Palace (?) Hotel, and then at the Acropolis. Would you be good enough to have inquired if a notebook filled with archaeological notes in french has been found in either of these places, and if so, keep it for me at the Museum.

I hope Mrs. Megaw and yourself are in the best of health and that you enjoy your lovely house on St. Hilarion. Mal of us are well and after an exceptionally mild winter enjoy now a delightful spring. Please give our best regards to your wife.

Yours sincerely,
