in the old house, I have asked M. Kuss to come over here with the plans. He will make a drawing of the changes needed and send it directly to you. - With regard of to the shelter, it was already weak last year, but it has so much charm, that I would not like it replaced by a new one. I would like that the broken poles be replaced by new ones, of old wood & the reed restaked where it has been blown off, so that the repair would not be visible. I have just finished the restauration of the Chaumière from where I am writing to you & be very happy with the result. Please tell me if you think that can be done. I know it would be more complicated and, perhaps, a little more expensive. But being an archaeologist I like living in oldish surroundings & the old house will remain my quarters, besides except one of the big rooms which will be converted into the dining room of the expedition. - I am glad to know that there are two posts vacant in Cyprus and I very much hope, Mrs. Karageorghis will be doing continuing the fine work she has already begun for France by accepting one of the positions. - Please give her my wife's & my best regards. Yours very sincerely C. F. A. Schaeffer.
