Dear Dr. Schaeffer,

Thank you for your letter of the 2nd about the arrangements you have made with Ashmole about the exhibition and reproduction of the Enkomi bowl. As you will see from the enclosed copy of my letter to him, I agree throughout.

I see you contemplate paying for the replica. If there are any exchange difficulties I can easily remit the cost from your deposit with us, in which there is a balance of £19.14.2 after deducting half the cost of the plots recently acquired.

I paid a brief visit to Enkomi yesterday, when I found the guard weeding the excavations. There is a record growth of weeds this year after a long wet winter. But as a compensation it has been a good year for the trees round the house.

Handwritten: With kind regards to you and Mme. Schaeffer.

Handwritten: Yours sincerely,
