My dear Sir
The appendix of your paper has come safely to hand and shall be read with it tomorrow. Your copy of the III. Volume of Cuneiform inscriptions has no doubt ere this reached you safely. I gave directions that it should be forwarded at once. Your paper is very acceptable as the Society will require a good literary start
Believe me Yours truly
