Dear Sir,

I am now returned and shall be happy to receive the sealed packet you have given me notice of. In regard to the copies of the inscriptions, M^r Panizzi ¹ has not yet come back from the continent but is every day expected. As soon as he returns I will see him: in the mean time I will ask you for a list of what you have. I may possibly have those you want, without the necessity of making an application to him.

I have not received from Sir Henry ² the "table of contents" which he has promised me

I remain yours faithfully
Edwin Norris
