Dear Sir

I have written to you in reply to your last letter ¹ and have also left a note for you at the British Museum as I heard that you would be in town shortly

I have seen Bagsters ² and they are very urgent as to the delivery of the MSS in three weeks exact. Enclosed is a list of materials, and as it is very important that this first vol should be as varied in its contents as possible I shall be greatly obliged by your writing word at once what other translations you would be able to favor us with. there [sic] are many enquiries for the work

I hope that you received your copy of Vol II P^t I ³ sent ten days ago, safely

The issue will exactly resemble Blackwoods Ancient Classics for English Readers, ⁴ but will be got up in a better style

I remain Dear Sir Y^rs fa^lly
W. R. Cooper
