… see how the mended pottery looks like now, to arrange for their transport to Enkomi, and even take photographs or notes. Some pieces are quite important.

I shall give him the photos of the silver bowl, and my text and slides for the communication in the Academie des Inscriptions, as we agreed.

One favour: I heard that you are giving a new photo of one of the centaurs from the sanctuary to an Encyclopaedeia to use. I am preparing a very general study on the origin of the centaurs for a Festschrift of a Greek Professor, using mostly the evidence of Ayia Irini, and what you kindly and generously gave me for the Chronique of 1962. Could you give me the same photo which you are giving to the Encyclopaedeia? My article will appear not earlier than the end of 1964.

I hope that Mrs Schaeffer had a pleasant round the world trip and that now she enjoys Ras Shamra. My wife and myself send to both of you our best wishes and kindest regards as well as to all members of the Expedition.

Yours ever Vassos Karageorghis
