Dear Professor Schaeffer,

I attach a copy of the bill which Mantovani have furnished for their expenses (excluding freight, which was payable at destina-tion) in connection with shipment of the eleven cases of Enkomi finds. The main item is the insurance premium payable on the policy No.1 dated 16/1/56, the original of which has I understand been sent you direct. The bill seems in order and if you agree I shall pay it from the balance which we have on deposit for you.
