My dr Mr Talbot
It is now some years since you gave me a Summary of the Contents of my Babylonian Cylinder containing some of the Acts of Nebuchadnezzar. As you were able to give so good an account of it then, I presume you are now able to translate it literally, word for word, as well as Mr Birch or Sir Henry Rawlinson. Can you tell me whether it has even been translated & printed?
I hope Mrs Talbot is quite well, to whom, as well as to yourself, Lady Phillipps writes with me in kind remembrances
Believe me Yours very truly
Thos Phillipps
