Most of the tombs laid bare have inscribed tablets and about 20 sarcophagi have been discovered, all of which are inscribed, copies of the most interesting of these inscriptions I herewith forward you, and I should feel obliged if you will inform me which of the tablets you would wish me to remove and put in store for the Museum.

I will not fail to report immediately anything interesting that may occur in the course of any explorations, or any discovery which may seem likely to clear up the question as to the site of the Temple. My whole force is employed in this particular work agreeable to my written instructions.
