Dear Dr. Schaeffer,

Thank you for your letter of the 28th March. A copy of your Enkomi-Alasia was, in fact, sent to me by the publishers some time ago and I found it very interesting reading.

We have made a replica of the bowl for you as promised free of charge. Kindly let me know if you will be calling for it or wish it sent.

Yours sincerely, H J Plenderleith KEEPER

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