Dear Professor Schaeffer,

I wish to thank you most sincerely for having made it possible for M. Ducos to include the study of the Salamis horses in the research work which he carried out in Cyprus during the last week. I am sure this will be of great value to the relevant branch of science and your assistance will be duly acknowledged in the publication of the results of the excavations.

Looking forward to seeing you next autumn.

Yours sincerely,

V. Karageorghis
