Dear Sir

I am much obliged to you for your kind letter <of?> to days date and will call upon you at the Museum on Tuesday next

Sir Henry ¹ has promised the original text cylinder of Tiglath Pileser, ² the one jointly translated by yourself and three other learned men. what other texts he will give I know not, but I believe they will be some of the unpublished tablets from the Daily Telegraph expedition M^r Rodwell ³ will give not Nebuchadnezzar ⁴ but a Neriglissar ⁵ text, and one of Assur azir pal, but of course his version will be examined first before it is printed in in <sic> the R of P. ⁶ M^r Rodwell is a very able Arabic and Amharic Scholar. his address is on the other leaf

Schrœders ⁷ German translation of the Sycthic <sic> text of the Behistun Inscription ⁸ is the one which I have written for. We can get it retranslated into English without much trouble if the author consents

I shall be glad to have a reprint and completion of your Assyrian Hymns and also the Sargon Myth

Smith ⁹ does not withold <sic> the Deluge, but only the Assurbanipal (30 or 40 pages) and Berosus (16 pages)

I remain Dear Sir Yours fa^lly
