Dear Dr. Schaeffer,
We dispatched the coloured photographs and the photo-montage enclosed to you at your Ugarit address with a covering letter dated 31st December, and I am concerned to hear that they have not reached you. I am hoping, however, that by now they will have been forwarded on to you and all is well.
I am returning, herewith, the proofs corrected i.e. the captions amplified as you suggested in your marginal pencil notes, and I have changed the word "bowl" to "cup" wherever it appears in order to be consistent. Also, references had been added in the text to Figures 118 and 122, which I had thought of initially as merely textual diagrams. This seems now to be all in order, and I should just like to add that, here, make a practice of reserving the word "drawings" for the entirely different technique supplied particularly in the manufacture of Persian and Indian stones etc., and as should describe the gold substitute of the one as "inlay". Do you think you could agree, therefore, to amend the French caption accordingly?
With all good wishes, and looking forward to our meeting later on in the year.
Yours sincerely,
