Dear Sir Thomas, May I ask you for help: I need a photocopy of Schliemann's letter to the Times, dated 24. July 1876 concerning his difficulties with the Turkish authorities during his forth season of excavations at Troy in 1876. I would be grateful to you for sending me the text. I will soon know when the book publication of my Enkomi discoveries including the silver bowl will be ready so that the exhibition and the simultaneous article in Ill. L. N. can be arranged. I shall than write to you or Prof Ashmole. Hope you are well. We were all her sorry that your King had died and your gracious queen had to taken the burden so young. Yours sincerely C. F A Schaeffer.
