Dear Professor Schaeffer,

Thank you for your letter of March 30th. I am so glad that the Kourion bowl has arrived safely. So you may I fear that we shall neither of us see it again for a long time. I am sending a copy of your letter to Zander-leith; originally it was intended that a copy should be sent last year.

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.
