Cher Collègue, je vous remercie de votre lettre du 30. Déc. - Yes, I remember your proposition de to make an exhibition of our latest finds Enkomi discoveries.. I think it should include also the God on the ingot which has not yet been seen by the Archaeologists. As for the original of the inscript rouleau, I have returned it with the cult wagon during your absence, handing it over to Mrs. Nicolaou in the absence of his husband, in the Museum, last October.. Hope you will find it. - Of course I will say a few words of introduction on the site of Enkomi, when the Congress is coming there on April 16th next. Again with all our good wishes for a happy 1969. Yours sincerely C F A Schaeffer
