Thomas Manning lived in Asia from 1807-1817, mainly in Canton and Macao. But he also tried to reach the interior of China via Tibet. The correspondence covers this period and is of both official and personal nature.

Note from Dr John Leyden, physician with East India Company in Madras and linguist, to suggest Manning comes over to his house as the Chinese that he spoke of has arrived. Undated. Handwritten, 1 piece, 1 side
