All this will, I am sure, be put right, later. Inventory of Furniture at Enkomi - house. The missing items are of no importance & probably mistakes. House additions. I entirely approve of the plans & specifications. Acquisition of plots. I shall be able to contribute the half share of 271 - 17 - 4 1/2 £ to the cost as soon as my 1950 credit is available which may be in a few months. I shall press the matter. Objects taken by Coche. I did not know that the sherds taken by C. were on loan only. He did not make it clear to me as other things I am afraid. I will look into the matter & report later. Bronze hoard 1947. I also let you know about the 3 missing items after return.
