Dear Professor Schaeffer,

Thank you for your letter of March 30th. I am so glad that the Enkomi bowl has arrived safely. As you say I fear that we shall neither of us see it again for a long time. I am sending a copy of your letter to Plenderleith: certainly it was intended that a copy should be made for you.

Yes, you did indeed send us a copy of Enkomi-Alasia, vol.I, and we were extremely grateful for it. I actually sent you a formal acknowledgement on the 12th July: my gratitude urged me to write a personal note as well: I hope I may have done so, but fear that I did not.

[handwritten: With kind regards yours sincerely Bernard Ashmole]

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