[printed: CARL SCHUSTER R. F. D. BOX 416 WOODSTOCK, N. Y.]

April 21, 1962.

Prof. Claude Schaeffer "Le Castel Blanc" 14 Rue Turgot Saint-Germain-en-Laye F r a n c e .

Dear Professor Schaeffer,

Enclosed herewith I return to you the photograph of a Vounous vessel, which you kindly lent me at the time of my visit to you in August, 1960. I sent the photograph, as you suggested, to Prof. Stewart in Australia; and he replied, as you see from the enclosed photocopy of his letter of Sept. 1, 1960, sending me a drawing of the design (which especially interested me because of the "hourglasses"), made by Mrs. Stewart -- of which I also send you a copy herewith (my negative 1713.32).

Only recently I heard from Mrs. Stewart the sad news of her husband's death.

With kind regards to you and Mrs. Schaeffer,

Yours sincerely,

Handwritten: Carl Schuster
