Dear Mr Fox Talbot/

There is no doubt that your seal is in Arabic characters of the 11th or 12th Centuries – the first type following the earliest or Cufic. I cannot for a day or two give any time to the interpretation of the legend, but I will do so as soon as I can

With kind regards to your Son & hoping that you quite well <sic>

Believe me
Sincerely Yrs
