Monsieur Claude Schaeffer, Ras Shamra, c/o Institut Francais d'Archéologie, B.P. 14. 24, BEYROUTH, SYRIA.

Dear Schaeffer,

Thank you for your very kind letter about the Enkomi bowl that came while I was away in Spain. I am now leaving all the arrangements to Ashmole, and he and I agree that the exhibition of the cup should coincide with the appearance of your article in the Illustrated London News.

Yours sincerely,
