Dear M^r Talbot

Thank you for your letter ¹ – I dont think Harrison ² will make any objection to lend our Printer J. E. Taylor & C^o as much cuneiform type as may be wanted – for your paper –

Quite at your leisure – will you enlighten my ignorance on this point? On the plan commonly called [illegible] Susa – Layard ³ series 2. Pl. 49 (or 48) is a brief Legend – one word apparently – in Cuneiform.

Does this word read Susa? Am I justified in saying that the plan is known to be Susa from the name there on?

Ever sincerely Yrs
W. S. W. Vaux
