Sir,

With reference to your letter dated 8th December, 1957, I have noted that you wish the loan to the Cyprus Museum of the bronze sceptre No.3774 (French excavations), which was allocated to you in the recent division of Enkomi finds, should be limited to a period of one year from 27th November, 1957, the date of the relative receipt.

Note has also been taken of your wish that the division of the Enkomi finds of the years 1946 to 1956 still remaining undivided should be divided during your next visit to Cyprus in the coming autumn, with the exception of the stratified pottery.

I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient Servant,

Handwritten: signature

Director of Antiquities.
