My d^r M^r Talbot

It is now some years since you gave me a Summary of the Contents of my Babylonian Cylinder containing some of the Acts of Nebuchadnezzar. As you were able to give so good an account of it then, I presume you are now able to translate it literally, word for word, as well as M^r Birch or Sir Henry Rawlinson. Can you tell me whether it has even been translated & printed?

I hope M^rs Talbot is quite well, to whom, as well as to yourself, Lady Phillipps writes with me in kind remembrances

Believe me Yours very truly
Thos Phillipps
