K. Nicolaou Curator of the museum archaeological Nicosia - Cyprus.

Nicosia, 18 March 1969

My dear Professor,

I thank you for the photo of the cylinder which I have duly received. I have already made sure that the other face of the cylinder is not reproduced and that it is not shown to anyone.

The cylinder is already on display with the side photographed displayed so that one cannot read the other face. I have also added a label "inedit". These days I am also going to arrange the display of the bronze objects.

My respects to Madame Schaeffer,
