'Copy of a letter from Capt. Gill, addressed to Col. Sykes, dated at Adjuntah, 16 October, 1849' in which he writes of his concern that his paintings had not arrived when Sykes had written to him. He has continued to copy the cave paintings and writes of those and inscriptions. He also writes concerning Professor Wilson's remarks upon his paintings and of some things Wilson seems to have missed.
