My dear Sir

I have taken the copy of which I enclose a tracing from the mould (which become bas-relief & more visible) made at Xanthus from the Greek portion of the Inscribed monument. I enclose you a copy hoping to view your translation. I have two or three by me which afterwards perhaps you would like to compare as each may assist the other – it appears difficult but it is very important to know all we can of the monument as it may assist with the Lycian language. Hoping to see you before you leave town I remain

Yours very truly
Ch Fellows.

30 Russell Square 21 May
