Michaels Grove

My dear Sir

I cannot do better than enclose the scrap from one of the revises. The * in the reference you will understand when you look at sheet 40. The parallel Sen. Bit is from the unpublished inscription in the British Museum on the ground floor in a dark corner.

I cannot agree with your suggested reading of the little slab. It is clearly an observatory <manu?> like some dozen in the museum: besides what of the <cuneiform> before i<r?>qurut? And I have never found <cuneiform> representing the Act <cuneiform>.

I shall probably get my Part I out in February, while you are away Shall I send you a copy to Lacock?

Yours faithfully

Edwin Norris
