ABSTRACT
Mydear Sir, Will you do me the favor to lay before the College of Surgeons a
request on my part to be permitted to have the loan for a few days of some drawings made by Mr. Clift Junr of Two Cases which contained mummies. My desire is to make out the Hieroglyphics and the pictorial representations upon those cases. I need not tell you that these things are not to be accomplished without much time and labour and reference to various works which it is not possible for me to take to the College and there make the investigation. The drawings are certainly not likely to be wanted by any other member and I therefore venture to solicit the loan of them for a few days for the purpose I have mentioned and to be noticed in my forthcoming work. I wish also to be permitted to take the facial angle of the Egyptian skull in the Museum.
