Dear Dr. Schaeffer,

I have your postcard and am very glad that you should have been given an offprint of my article: more are available if you want them.

By arrangement with Ashmole we are getting the bowl during September for electrotyping and, as arranged, I shall be making a copy for the British Museum as well as one for the Louvre. The matter is a little delicate as we are not authorised by the Treasury to make electrotypes,(an economy measure), and the excuse is that the bowl is being done as experimental work. It is likely, therefore, that the electrotype will be free of charge.

Yours sincerely,
