Dear Dr. Schaeffer,

Thank you so much for your card and good wishes which I warmly reciprocate. The master-copy of the bowl has now been made, and I have already written to Megaw asking him to arrange with our Foreign Office for it to be collected and delivered to our Embassy in Paris.

With kind regards,

yours sincerely

Handwritten: Bernard Ashmole

Dr. C. F. A. Schaeffer, Le Castel Blanc, 14 Rue Turgot, St. Germain-en-Laye, France.
