Dear Sir

It is contemplated by our Society to issue a collected series of English Translations of Egyptian & Assyrian Texts so as to present to the public in a cheap and easily Accessible form the results of the labors of both English and Foreign Scholars Many of the most eminent of whom have already promised their immediate cooperation, while Dr Birch has obligingly accepted the duties of Editorship and Messs Bagster & Sons have offered to undertake the entire cost of publication

Allow me therefore to request the favor of your valuable assistance and suggestions towards the Carrying out of this important work, perhaps you would also kindly specify immediately what texts you would care to <revive?> or translate for the Society, or which it would be most desirable to issue as a <sic> announcement

I remain Dear Sir Your faithly

W. R. Cooper
