Dr Sir
If you see Sir H. Rawlinson 2 pray offer him my sincere congratulations upon his recent appointment – I do not trouble him with a letter on the subject.
Can you inform me when he proposes to leave England, and what arrangements it is proposed to make for the publication of the cuneiform researches and discoveries on which he has been engaged during the last 2 or 3 years. I presume some change will be requisite in his intentions which were to issue a transcript and English translation along with the lithographed inscriptions which have been copied and prepared in the British Museum
I remain Dr Sir Yours truly
H. F. Talbot
