Dear Dr. Schaeffer,

After some little difficulty, I have managed to get into touch with a Mr. Larry Burrows, the photographer for Life Magazine. For two or three good shots he charges £8. 8/-. By a strange coincidence he is, at present, in Cyprus and you may run across him there. I understand that he is coming back almost immediately, but if there is any urgency in the matter, a Mr. Anderson, who is a photographic colleague of Mr. Burrows, would be prepared to do the work at the same figure.

If this is satisfactory I would be glad if you would write to him personally (c/o of me) giving him your instructions.

Yours sincerely,
