Scope and content
The Courier [G. Fino] has written to Talbot saying that he is going to Nice for the winter, and therefore is no longer available. It may be possible that he is still in London at 9 Warwick St., Regent St. Talbot is currently working at the Assyrian inscriptions. He has published some remarks in the Journal of Sacred Literature of which he has enclosed two numbers, and is also working on a translation of the Bellino Cylinder, the Esarhaddon cylinder, and another cuneiform tablet. He would like to see the inscription of the Babylonian Cylinder at Trinity College Library as mentioned by Henry Rawlinson and thinks the College should publish a lithographic facsimile with a translation and notes.
