– I am glad you are preparing an account of the Ugarit 1960-1 campaigns for the Annales de Syrie. The reference to my article which I discuss at length the mythological interpretation of chariot scenes etc is "Myth and Epic in Mycenaean Vase-painting", American Journal of Archaeology 62, 1958, pp. 383-387.

– I have inquired about the house at Enkomi. It
will cost roughly £600. We too are making plans for a||
dig house at Salamis. It will cost £3000!||

– I do hope that reason will prevail in the new political developments in France.

With all good wishes

Yours sincerely VKarageorghis
