Dear Mr. Megaw, I am glad to know you back & hope you will soon have an occasion to come to see us here. We have advanced our work & made some discoveries, one of which to-day an intacte tombe of recent Bronze promises numerous objects. There are good archaeological layers & observations which complete our information in the neighborhood of maison 18 where we are working at present. Please convey to Mrs Megaw my wife's & my own best regards and believe, me, dear Mr. Megaw yours sincerely

C F A Schaeffer.
