Dear Tiglath,

A quote where Layard mentions you and the other Tiglath. :) Hope all is well and your enjoying your trip.

"I am quite proud of my public spirit in the cause of antiquity and fine art. But I must not ruin either you or the children; and I propose to call in the aid of the Government—whether Whig or Tory—to accomplish what mayeasily prove beyond my reach. Now you must be tired, dead tired of all this, and perhaps you think me crazy for caring so much about such trifles, but they are trifles for which colleges universities and nations would take each other by the cars, and as Major Rawlinson tells me, the inscriptions are likely to throw much light upon Scripture history, particularly on our old friend Tiglath-Pileser." Henry Layard
