Dear Sir
I thank you for the copy of your Assyrian Glossary – I have only just arrived from Paris and have not yet had time to read it through – I hope you will continue it for I think it is only from want of knowledge of what has been done – that the world in great part refuses to believe in Assyrian translation
Yours respectfully
