My dear Sir

The cylinder of King Urzana was I believe never in the Museum; all I can learn of it is, that it was in the possession of Sir William Ouseley, and that M^r Doubleday made a cast of it a copy of which is now before me – In the fourth line I find [ill. del.] may not that be a form of Urarda? – as I see in the 3^rd line & other characters which I cannot read –

I have found an inscription of the oblelisk King on which the name is written –

Thanking you very much for your second most acceptable present

I remain yours very truly
William H. Coxe
