My Dear Sir!
Allow me to thank
you for your great courtesy
in sending me 3 draw-
-ings of Icelandic rune-
-stones. These are a pre-
-cious addition to my ru-
-nic collection.
I am persuaded that
careful digging will lead
to the discovery of several
hitherto unknown runic
stones in Iceland, and re-
-commend the subject to
your realous<ref>[ath óskýr skrift]</ref> interest. I
would also beg to point
out the great advantage
of procuring paper casts
(thick paper, wet, placed
over the runic parts and
bls. 2
carefully beaten in with a
thick and not- too- hard brush.
Such casts, when dry, are
very hard and valuable.
The paper costs very litle.
I endose a bit of the
paper which I use.
I also beg to prezent,
Thro you, to the Reykjavík
museum in annotation
book in the handwriting
of that great Icelandic
Finn Magnusson.
With great respect,
Yours very truly,
GeorgeStephens.
