Hertford
June 9th 1866.

Sir

I am the Printer of the Royal Asiatic Society, Journal and should have much pleasure in being employed by you, but the Cuneiform Types are not the property of the Society but are the private property of Messs Harrison & Co of St. Martin’s Lane, They printed the articles by Mr Morris for me. – Messs Harrison would be glad to print the Glossary for you, and perhaps it would be more convenient to you to arrange with them direct on the subject. –

Pray forgive my not replying earlier to your Note but I could not see Messs Harrison until Today –

I rem your obed servt
Stephen Austin
