My dear Sir

Best thanks for sheet 4 of the Glossary; there are several articles in it about which I had some thing to say, but my paralytic thumb is a terrible impediment, and I am working against time for the Dictionary. I have put a temporary stop to the regular course of my work, for the purpose of classifying my large mass of [illegible] forms, the proper arrangement of which is very important. I have printed about a sheet three times over, and have not quite decided yet how it should be done, so as to present a lucid view of the verb [Hebrew] whole of the verb [same Hebrew] “to go” I have about fifty forms. I want to finish it before I leave town for the autumn holiday. I find I cannot get on without constant personal communications with the companies, but some times I am determined I hope we shall get on swimmingly. I doubt I may be able to send you a specimen before long.

Believe me My dear Sir Yours faithfully
Edwin Norris

P. S. I had not noticed the connection of [cuneiform] and [cuneiform], but there can hardly be a doubt about it.
