I hope that this is possible for you and agreeable.
Herr Joffroy left for his holidays late and will afterwards dig again in the area of Vix. My discussion with him concerning the problem of the axe casting will therefore only be able to take place in November .
Please give your so sympathetic colleagues my best regards and receive yourself my warm thanks and my wishes for a satisfying resumption of your research and work. Until my departure, at the end of September my address remains as above, afterwards from 1 October to 15 November: Institut Français d'Archéologie, B.P. 1424, Beyrouth (Lebanon).
Yours faithfully C F A Schaeffer

Dear Herr Professor Hundt,
I hope that you enjoyed your Swiss holidays with peace and somewhat good weather. In Alsace it was mostly cool and often rainy. We have come back from there in the Volkswagen you rescued safely here and must prepare our journey to the Near East + Cyprus, as well as finalise the publications in press. The start of the new excavations takes place only around 15 October, since before that I must carry out an inspection in Pakistan (Mohenjo Daro) . So I would like to send you Herr Lagarce around 10 October to collect the bronzes finished casting by then and bring them after me to Beirut, from where I will take them on to Cyprus.
