Letter from Captain Thomas John Newbold to Sir George Thomas Staunton in which he writes that he is returning to India after two years in Syria, Palestine and Asia Minor. The fine climate of Syria has improved his health. He intends returning to India through Persia. He sends with the letter copies of inscriptions to be presented to the Royal Asiatic Society. He writes to warn that a parcel of his had been lost last December. He writes of his thoughts on archaeology after the success of Messrs Layard and Botha at Nineveh. Please note that part of this letter is over-written by Newbold - the writing being both horizontally and vertically on the page.

Newbold also encloses a Paper on the "Site at Bether" (see TJN/2/4). In a long postscript he writes about Rawlinson's mission in Persia and sends some inscriptions from the Syrian sites.

This paper was published in the Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society, Vol. 16, 1856, pp.32-36. The letter is in poor condition with 2 small pieces separated from the letter.

Letter from Captain Thomas John Newbold to Richard Clarke, Secretary of the Royal Asiatic Society, enclosing "a drawing, by Mr Critchton the architect at Jerusalem of some curious tombs we discovered a few miles to the N.E of Jerusalem … called by the Arabs … Tombs of the Amalekites." Newbold hopes to also send an account of them to Clarke. He also asks Clarke to edit his paper on the country inland of the Coast of Tyre and Sidon. The drawing is included with the letter and has a picture of the tombs on one side, and an example of the stonework of the tombs on the reverse.

Notes on the Ancient Figures and Inscriptions from Márab sent to the Bombay Branch of the Royal Asiatic Society by George Smythan, and resented by The President of the Society, John Wilson. A description and analysis of inscriptions on stones found by Dr A. Mackell at the town of Márab or Sábá, believed to be the seat of the Queen of Sheba. Four stones were found, two of which were acquired and facsimiles made for the others. Mackell believed the inscriptions were more Ethiopic in character. Wilson compares these inscriptions with ones found by J.G. Hulton and J. Smith (see Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society, vol.5, 1838, p.91). Wilson however suggests these may be of Sabean origin. The article is dated 28 November 1836 with a postscript, dated 2 December 1839, concerning Wilson's reluctance to have his findings published.

With the article are three lithograph sheets showing the figures and inscriptions.
