Dear Colleague,

I am sorry to learn from your letter of October 4th that you have been ill on the boat when returning from Cyprus and afterwards in Australia. My wife and I send you our very best wishes for a speedy recovery. Please give our cordial remembrances to Mrs Stewart whom we hope to see again.

Your information about Mr Merrillees is so helpful to me for he intends to go to England for study a visit Ras Shamra

We have just finished here my 24th season with good results and are now pekng to return to Louvain and early November we proceed to Cyprus to continue at Enkomi.

Very best greetings from us both to you & your wife.

Yours sincerely,

C.F.A. Schaeffer
