French Alasia Expedition, Engomi, Octobre 3d, 1958.

The Director of Antiquities Nicosia (Cyprus)

Sir,

I would be grateful for granting permission to the French Alasia Expedition to export temporarily the antiquities listed on the attached inventory from the 1958 season of excavations undertaken at Engomi. After study, the antiquities will be returned to the Museum in automn 1959 pending the division. Either M. Kuss or M. de Contenson can sign on my behalf the usual "undertaking".

Yours sincerely

C.F.A. Schaeffer.
