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.
