Scope and content
Thanks him for his letter, in which he promised to discuss with an Egyptian the question of tools used in antiquity; quotes the opinion of a Mr Tincke who confirmed Rendel's view about the Nile mud and considered the proposition that entire bases had been sunk through some depth of it to be untenable; Tincke had also been much interested in the story of the copper tools; Rendel had made him understand how the Egyptians moved great obelisks when once cut, but had forgotten whether he had learnt anything new about the mode of cutting.
