French Expedition to Enkomi-Alasia 10. December 1957.

Dear Director Megaw, In addition to the two clay balls already received for study from our 1957 find, I have selected the items mentioned on the enclosed official letter. I hope it will be possible to deliver them to M. Kuss for transferring them to Paris. — I now want to ask you about the air photographs to be made at Enkomi. Since the last one, several years have passed and as well for your as my publications it would be extremely useful to have new photographs made especially of the following areas : Maison 18 , Central or Tempel Area , North Area & general view with the town wall from north to south. — I would be grateful to you for going in touch with the military authorities . — Perhaps Salamis too could be photographed at the occasion. Yours sincerely

C. F. A. Schaeffer.
