… and yesterday at Enkomi found him working steadily at the North wall and, on a smaller scale, in the compound.
I think you will agree that any defection on his part would be regretable, for having no one to put in his place our collaboration would be jeopardised.
You will realize from what I have said that, practical and other considerations apart, it would not in present circumstances be wise to pursue the suggestion that you and D. should share the house at Enkomi this autumn and excavate simultaneously.
Another thing: I hope you will not feel that we are lacking in understanding of your surprise and dismay when you found that D. no longer dates his ashlar compound to the 14th. century. We certainly did not foresee that this would be regarded as undermining your work at Enkomi, and I for one remain unconvinced that all ashlar buildings must be of one date.
However that may be, it is a matter of great regret to me that the first sector excavated by us should have given rise to a difference of opinion of this kind. I hope it will be the last.
Yours sincerely A H Megaw
