My dear Sir

Now that vol VII of the Records of the Past <1> is out we must begin to get ready for the next Assyrian Vol viz IX What texts can you give us for it, any Hymns? such for example as incantational ones in Lenormants La Magic. <2>

Oppert <3> will send us all the Sargon and Artaxexes text.

I am only slowly recovering

Y fy
