Thank you for the communication of the photographs relating to the sculpted base with two lions . As far as I can tell from the reproductions, I hesitate to believe in the reality of the German thesis , But I will wait to see the original and your opinion before fixing my ideas. I look forward to seeing you again soon as well as Mrs Nicolaou, to whom my wife and I send our best regards. Please accept, dear Sir Curator, the expression of my very distinguished sentiments and devoted.

C F A Schaeffer .
