Dear Professor Schaeffer,

This is just to confirm that the inscribed clay cylinder which you found during the 1967 campaign is in the Cyprus Museum. You handed it to the Assistant Curator of the Museum during my absence in the States, this is why I was not informed from the beginning.

With best wishes.

Yours sincerely,

Handwritten: signature
