Nicosia, 3 February, 1973.

Dear Mr Schaeffer,

I thank you very much for your book Enkomi-Alasia I, which you so kindly sent me, as well as the dedication friendly one.

Your letter of 27 December 1972 and the request for an extension of the period of export of the antiquities taken away for study and restoration, were also received some time ago.

As regards the photographs requested, I hope you will have them soon.

Please present my respects to Madame Schaeffer and believe me, dear Professor, the expression of my sentiments and those of my wife, the best.
