Dear Professor Schaeffer,

Lady Harding, the wife of H.E. the Governor, wishes to visit your excavations on the 29th instant at about 3.30 pm. I am therefore writing to inquire whether you agree to the above visit. In case of an affirmative reply please do not take the trouble to write.

I hope your work is progressing well. My health has not been too good these last days but as soon as I feel better I will,if you allow, pay you a visit.

By the way Lady Harding will be accompanied by Mr. V. Karagiorghis,Assistant Curator.

With kindest regards, Yours sincerely,
