The Royal Asiatic Society of Great Britain and Ireland was founded by the eminent Sanskrit scholar Sir Henry Thomas Colebrooke on the 15th March 1823. It received its Royal Charter from King George IV on the 11th August 1824 'for the investigation of subjects connected with and for the encouragement of science, literature and the arts in relation to Asia'. It continues as a forum for those who are interested in the languages, cultures and history of Asia to meet and exchange ideas.

Letter from W.R. Livingstone, Montego Bay, Jamaica, to send a contribution to the Fund.

"Imagination has taken me to Mecca, whither pluck and skill carried him 32 years ago." He signs his letter "Hadgi W.R. Livingstone". He also includes a printed satirical poem "Farewell to Sir Leslie Probyn" about an unpopular British Governor of Jamaica at the time.
