My dear Sir

Harrisons ¹ are printing off the new part. Vol. V. ² p. 2 as fast as they can. The delay has chiefly been caused by the action of the Council which I have not been at hand to quicken

Records Vol. IX is also passed for press and will very soon be out, every thing is ready but M^r Birchs ³ preface

The sad loss at the B.M has most disturbed D^r Birch and M^r Boscawen ⁴ is dismissed. Alas the New Assyrian students now are M^r E. A. Budge and T. G. Pinches ⁵ both brought forward by the Archaic classes

Y^rs f^y
