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 place^{been effected} already thatyear.

But as ten full years have ^now elapsed

without compliance with^{the conditions having} been fulfilled on

condition on which to [??] this matter may

if this condition should happen not tobe
