D Sir

Having communicated with Sir H. Rawlinson through M^r Norris, I find there is no objection on his part, to my proposed cooperation in deciphering some of the Cuneiform inscriptions in the Museum. I will therefore be very much obliged to you to obtain the sanction of the Trustees as proposed in your last letter, and remain ¹

D^r Sir Yours very truly
H. F. Talbot
