Dear Sir

I am much obliged by your promise of a further paper on Ishtar. ¹ is it to come out in the July Part (Vol III. Part 1) or later. please let me know so that I can arrange for the press

Sayces ² paper has gone to the printer and I do not fear that it will prove amply paid for. excuse my having applied to you. you have been most liberal

A Rev John Finlayson writes to ask if there is a simpler Assyrian Grammar than Ménants, ³ with the characters, which Sayce’s ⁴ has not. do you know of one?

Records of the Past are out at last. We sold many copies at the Meeting yesterday

Y^rs fa^lly
