for yourself and to speak a word to His Majesty
that the order for the Custom House order be given at once.
You will greatly oblige the Committee & myself through this
kindness. In order not to hurt Hamdy, who did not
want any interference from the Legation, I place myself
on the position that they have sent the antiquities as they
promised, and that you only thank him once more for this
courtesy, as I am not in Constantinople myself, to do so.

The tablet I bought for you in Constant. goes to
Mrs. Terrell to-morrow with a translation and exact
description.

As soon as our boxes are here, I will send the formal
application to our Board, to send some ^antiquities to Texas
University
for your courtesy. Please write me the
exact address of that University.

With Mrs Hilprecht's best wishes for yourself
and Madam, and with our compliments to Mr
& Mrs Short, Dr Long and other American friends

I am always with gratitude

yours sincerely

H. V. Hilprecht

My book for His Majesty
and the copy for yourself will have
reached you, I trust, by this time.
Possibly the copy for His Majesty will arrive a little later owing to the especial
binding needed.
