I then attempted to remove the Mummy and mask from the
Coffin, but found that unfortunately both were stuck fast to the
bottom of the Coffin, and could not be <under the present conditions> raised out without using
great force <~~such as would endanger~~> ~~endangering both~~, endangering both the Royal Remains
and the finely wrought mask. <The libation that was poured over the body had consolidated>
at the bottom and stuck them fast. My one hope now
is that the heat of the sun may soften it sufficiently so as
to enable one to gradually ~~loosen mummy~~ free it and raise
it. If not, unless some other expedient is discovered, we shall
have to make the Examination as it lies within the two Coffins.

IS 61, 3. To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto
them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment
of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called
trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he might
be glorified.

Mark 14, 8. She hath done what she could: she is come aforehand
to anoint my body to the burying.
