Enkomi. These will have now to be taken away from the Khan to-morrow. It is absolutely impossible to keep them in the Museum here, as there is litterally no place at all in our store-rooms now. As soon as I hear from you I shall arrange for their transport to Enkomi, where you may have room in the new room which you have hired in the village. I am terribly sorry for this short notice which is due to the Ministry's slow for delay in answering my letter about the Khan.

Yours as ever VKarageorghis
