My dear Mr Talbot

It is now some years since you gave me a Summary of my Babylonian Cylinder containing some of the Acts of Nebuchadnezzar. A 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 ever been translated and printed?

I hope Mrs Talbot is quite well, to whom as well as to yourself Lady Phillipps unites with me in kind remembrances

Believe me yours very truly
Thos Phillipps
