Reykjavík, Aug 31. 1871.
Sir,
You will recollect that in the year 1861
an understanding was come to between us
according towhich I undertook to make a
draw up an antiquarian map of Thingvellir
on condition that it should be published
the publication ofit should be proceeded
with as soon as possible. In the following
year that the pleasure ofrenewing ai-
quaintaneship with you, and tohear^learn that
it had it not been for inevitable^{unavoidable pressure of
business other occuaptions, the publication
would have taken placebeen effected already thatyear.
But as ten full years have now elapsed
without compliance withthe conditions having been fulfilled on}

the importance ofthe subject obliges being made
public obliges me to make make a final ^{to stimulate again that}
unless the map be published within the lapse
condition on which to [??] this matter may
ofayear from this date counted, and that
be brought to an [??]ssful end
if this condition should happen not tobe
complied with, I shall consider myself
free to dispose ofthe matter as may seem
^tome necessary and desirable. If Ihear nothing
from you, I shall consider the ^subject matter of
this my letter silently agreed to.
