Dear Dr. Schaeffer,
Thank you for your letter of 21st June. I am sorry if the order in which we are carrying out our supplementary work at Enkomi inconveniences you in any way, but I feel sure the order which we decided on is the logical one. Dikaios starts work at the beginning of next week.
_______As 31st December last is to stand as the termination date for the joint Expedition, I think we should agree on the form of a short public announcement of its termination. The present would, I suggest, be a good time for an announcement to be issued to the press, and I enclose a tentative draft for your comments and suggestions. From what you have said in the past I understand that a brief announcement of this kind is what you have in mind.
I have now received your letter of 21st June, 1954,and have asked Plenderleith to confirm that he can deal with your tablet and votive ingots, before arranging for their despatch by diplomatic bag.
Yours sincerely A.H.S. Megaw.
Dr. C.F.A. Schaeffer, M.A.,D.Litt., Le Castel-Blanc, 14, Rue Turgot, St. Germain-en Laye.
