Dear M. Megaw,

Thank you very much for your letter of Jan. 13th and the interesting communication about your last dig at Enkomi. I am looking forward to see your finds, especially pottery & seals, when I come over this fall. Please transmit to M. Dikaios my congratulations.

Here is the plan of the wall made by Forrer, following his survey with the new tachometer last season. Also the different excavations areas are exactly measured but the buildings not yet put in, this needs further work. But for the present the plan will be useful.

About the dumps: marked roughly in red pencel, these dumps could be removed outside the town area. All the other dumps would stay for the present.

Acqueduct on the plateau: about the limit marked with red pencel.
