Dear Sir

I have to thank you for your very interesting paper which shall be duly laid before the council on the 6^th ins^t

You will see in our Journal a part of the same Tablet translated by M^r Smith but which without your essay and exegesis is unsatisfactory May I suggest that the text should be given in Assyrien as in your previous papers, and that the quotations from Berosus Herodotus might come in in full –

I remain Dear Sir Yours faith^ly

Is there not a similar tradition in Hindu Mythology. Krishna for example –? I speak merely from memory –
