File TJN/1/10 - Letter from Captain Thomas John Newbold to Richard Clarke, 11 June 1844

Letter from Captain Thomas John Newbold to Richard Clarke, Secretary of the Royal Asiatic Society, concerning manuscripts at the Madras Society. He writes that there are a large number of manuscripts in the southern dialects but that none of the Mackenzie Collection are in the Library. He writes that Walter Elliot has promised to look into the matter as Newbold is away from Madras at present. He writes that he has received the last two copies of the Journal and wonders whether they have any spare copies of the Anniversary report. Please note that part of this letter is over-written by Newbold - the writing being both horizontally and vertically on the page.
