My dear Sir
I have examined the tablet and find that the four characters are right as you represent them, I hope soon to send you some sheets of Sennacherib and the new volume, I thank you for the copy of your paper which you so kindly sent me
A friend of mine who has taken to the study of Cuneiform has asked me to beg of you a copy of your Glossary and any other papers you can spare him – If you can spare him anything I shall be obliged
Yours respectfully
George Smith
