Dear Sir

Now that the second Assyrian volume is almost out I am planning for the materials for the next, and it has occurred to M^r Birch ¹ and myself that it would be a favor if you would give us the India House Inscription of Nebuchadnezzar ², and the Borsippa one also – M^r Rodwell ³ takes the Neriglissar and I believe D^r Delitzsch ⁴ will also contribute a paper as also Prof Schrader. ⁵ I want the Sycthic text of the Behistum from him, but I cannot get a copy of the German work to have it translated

I hope that you will be pleased with the new volume

I do not want to press you for the texts, only to Know what we may count upon your kindness for, so as to avoid confusion

I should of course be most grateful if you could at your leisure send us also an English Translation of Schraders text

I shall try and have the volumes issued either two at a time or more frequently

Dear Sir Yours fa^ly
W P Cooper
