Part of Papers of Thomas Manning, Chinese Scholar, First English visitor to Lhasa, Tibet

Letter to Thomas Manning from [Lance Ammery] (a different hand suggests this is the Chinese baker at Penang). It seems that Manning has lost money which the writer hopes to regain for him if he can. He asks Manning to give attention to "Atoong & my Son". He is still in the same "predicament" but hopes to see Manning if he makes it to China. Dated 23 June 1807, from Penang. Handwritten 1 piece, 2 sides
