2pp, 12mo. In good condition, lightly aged, with thin strip of paper from mount unobtrusively adhering at head of reverse. Folded twice. The salutation is to 'My dear Barker', and the name of the recipient is given at the foot of the first page as 'W. B. Barker Esqe'. He thanks him for his 'kind, but too complimentary note'. He is afraid that Barker's friend, who has clearly requested Layard's autograph, 'sets too much value upon a specimen of such detestable handwriting', but in this matter, 'as in anything else', he will be happy to oblige Barker. He is happy to hear that Barker is 'so much satisfied' with his 'position - it is what few persons are and you may therefore consider yourself truly a fortunate man'. Accompanying the letter are three newspaper cuttings, one long and in two pieces, headed 'DR. LAYARD', another biographical and written during his lifetime, and the third incomplete.

2 SS. auf Doppelblatt. 8vo. An eine Miss Guest (?) mit der Absage zu einer Verabredung: "I am very sorry to say that I cannot dine with you on Wednesday. On that day I am occupied until late in the City and on Thursday I have my lecture which requires thinking on [.]". - A. H. Layard erforschte neben Ninive und Nimrud auch archäologische Stätten im südlichen Mesopotamien (darunter Babylon) und war der erste Europäer, der umfänglich über die Jesiden in Scheichan und dem Dschabal Sindschar berichtete, deren "Fest der Versammlung" (Jashne Jimaiye) er in Lalisch erleben konnte. Aufsehenerregende Funde aus seinen Ausgrabungen schickte Layard in das Britische Museum nach London, in dessen Verwaltung er 1866 als trustee berufen wurde. Seit 1852 war er in der britischen Politik aktiv, unter anderem als Abgeordneter im Unterhaus und als Botschafter in Konstantinopel (1877-80). - Die Verso-Seite von Bl. 2 mit alten Montagespuren.
