Dear Sir

I propose to call at the Museum on Wednesday. I would be glad if M^r Smith ¹ would kindly look out for me the tablet S 954 ² of which M^r Sayce ³ has given a translation in vol 5 of Records of the Past. ⁴

It would be desirable to publish the cuneiform text of all those documents of which translations have been recently published but a critical enquiry Can only be founded on the original texts.

Yours vy Truly
