MINISTRY OF COMMUNICATIONS AND WORKS DEPARTMENT OF ANTIQUITIES NICOSIA.
24th January 1972
Dear Professor Schaeffer,
This is to request you to accept to say a few words at the opening ceremony of the Mycenaean Symposium on the 27th of March at 10 a.m. on behalf of all the non-Cypriot participants. This will follow immediately after the address by the Minister. I envisage that your address will last about 5 or 8 minutes, since there will be a long lecture by Professor Marinatos immediately afterwards.
Please let me know if you accept this request so that I may print this in the programme.
I would also request you to send the resume of your communication as early as possible.
With kindest regards.
Yours sincerely,
