To Prof. Dr. H.-J. HUNDT Römisch-Germanisches Zentralmuseum MAINZ Ernst-Ludwig-Platz 2 Germany

Dear Professor Hundt!

Many thanks for your letter and your technical opinions, which I will come back to when we see each other in Mainz, and once I can consult some of the literature that I lack here, at La Chaumière. My address from 5 VII is La Chaumière, 68 - FRELAND (Haut-Rhin).

The study of the Enkomi chariot model has shown me that without a model the latter is not easy to understand. So I would like to ask whether a model for the Louvre Museum, and a cast of the four swords, would be technically possible, and at what price. I would then like to ask the Louvre whether it could acquire the copy.

With warm greetings Yours very devotedly

C.F.A. SCHAEFFER
