potteryMy next RS expedition is due to begin end of Sept; I sail from Venice on Sept. 12th, — After R.S. we are coming over to Enkomi. Have you seen the enclosed article ? V. seems to ignore all what has already been done by others & you on the subject. Send him some of your articles. I am glad of what you are saying of the developing of French-Cyprus bonds of friendship. I will have a word with the people of the Cultural Dept. of the Foreign Office to see what they are thinking. — Another question. Do you think it possible that you join the French Alasia Expedition for a months time of digging, not as an official of the Dept., but as a private archaeologist, getting a leave for this from the Museum ? I would hand you over all the ceramicmaterial for publication. The next season of our diggings would be end of November. — With kind regards from us both to Mrs Karageorghis Yours sincerely C.F.A. Schaeffer.
