but now I would like it to pass to
competent hands to do it justice.

I have written to Khalil Bey about
the large jar at Troy which the guard
keeps his provision of water. I hope he
will make no objections to my removing
it. You will perhaps have thought me
inconsistent when I informed you other(?)
Ministers and Ambassadors had paid
visit to the local authorities, but this
referred to the remote past of which
all recollection of ceremonial formalities
had long faded away.

Trusting you feel no fatigue
from your late excursion believe me
Sir

Your obedient
Frank Calvert
