              66 Kenilworth Rd<lb/>St.Leonards-on-Sea    4.4.17    Dear Mr Yeats :   Enclosed I send an inscription<lb/>which contains something like the Key numbers 11. As the<lb/>whole of it may be a language Dr Ross perhaps would<lb/>like to see it. The original was written on silver and<lb/>copied on to glass. I am anxious to know if this<lb/>is a language &amp; if so what - for I used a special<lb/>method of trying to create an artificial <seg type="unclear">rapport</seg><lb/>I have not had much success with the photos lately.<lb/>I should also like to <seg type="unclear">hear</seg> if those other inscriptions<lb/>I sent Dr Ross made any sense?  I am sending this to you as you wrote about the<lb/>number 11.   Sincerely yours<lb/><hi rend="underline">David Wilson</hi>
