Dear Doctor Schaeffer,
You will remember calling at the Embassy at the end of March to collect an antique silver bowl found in excavations at Engomi in Cyprus in 1950, and which it was agreed should be exhibited at the Louvre for a period of two months.
I wonder if you will shortly be in a position to return the bowl to the Embassy since in fact it is now three months since I saw you?
