… our Victor Hugo Exhibition on the occasion of the centenary of Les Misérables (this exhibition attracted nearly 600 visitors and is going to shortly move to Limassol, Larnaca etc)

I do not know whether you have had the opportunity to hear at the end of March some of the nine broadcasts that the radio reporter Samy Simon devoted to Cyprus, on the France II airwaves. In the interview he had taken from me, I had naturally mentioned you.

I very much hope to see you again in the autumn at Enkomi and at Nicosia. If in the meantime you can make a gesture in favour of the Greek Library of Prof. Spyridakis, it will be appreciated at its true value

Asking you to convey my respectful homage to Madame Schaeffer, I ask you to accept, Dear Monsieur le Professeur, the assurance of my profound admiration and my grateful sentiments
