Mrs Lapierre would also like to join, and the family of the oenologue of KEO Mr Torcol. We thought of a Sunday, but it we leave it up to you to fix which Sunday suits you best. We shall be delighted if you could join. There is now a motor car road leading up to the very top of the plateau, near the ruins.

I shall always be at your disposal for any help I could offer.

Please give my best regards to Mrs Schaeffer and all the members of the Expedition; hoping that all goes well

Yours v. sincerely VKanageorghis
