My dear M^r Talbot

I am sorry to say that owing to the pressure of the Simonides question which has occupied the whole of our time at the last two meeting[s] I have not been able to read your paper. I shall not fail, however, to do so on Wednesday the 11^th after which if you like I will deliver it at once to the printer. I have just received a remarkable Ph œn. Inscription from Sardinia – with a portion of its equivalents in Greek and Latin! This is now being drawn for the R S L. but before it is in print y [sic] shall see a copy of it

Ever sincerely yours
W S W Vaux
