Nicosia, 14 July 1978.
Dear Mr Schaeffer,
Further to my letter of 10 March 1978 and of the yours, dated 7 May 1978, I have once again checked the undertakings and I give you the results in the enclosed list.
You will see from this list that there are few objects to return, and I would be very obliged if you made a new effort to trace these objects in order to put an end to this prolonged story for which the Auditors of the Republic of Cyprus and my Ministry have pressed me very hard these last times.
Enclosed you will also find the list of the portoires that you so kindly sent me recently; I have gone through this list very carefully but I have not succeeded in tracing the missing objects.
Please accept, dear Professor, the assurance of my most distinguished sentiments.
