26/VIII/56 Stewart (Vounous Material)

Dear Colleague, You will have received a letter from Mr. Megaw about my remaining Vounous material which is now practically ready to be shipped to Sydney. Let me know, when you have reached a decision in order that I can inform Megaw whom I hope to see this fall, I am leaving Sept. 15th to the Near East (postal adress : Institut Français d'Archéologie, B.P. 14.24 Beyrouth) for my excavations at Ras Shamra & Enkomi. –

Thank you for your offprint BASOR. I am glad you made a stop about that nonsens of Basering ware before 1550 BC in Syria & Pal. The worst which has been written about it is in Woolley Alalakh, forgotten Kingdom.
