Correspondence and Papers written by Captain Thomas John Newbold between 1842 and 1849. The majority of the correspondence is from Newbold to Richard Clarke, the Secretary of the Royal Asiatic Society. The Papers were mainly sent by Newbold to be read at the Society or published in its Journal.

"Ancient Inscriptions in Syria and Arabia Copied by Capt Newbold". A paper with copies of inscriptions and hieroglyphs from Newbold's expedition in Syria. This is undated but from the lists in TJN/2/7 it would appear that it was sent to, but not read at, the Royal Asiatic Society in 1849. With the papers is a label which states, "Ancient Inscriptions in Syria. Copied by Capt. Newbold."

Letter from Richard Wood to Captain Thomas John Newbold, sent from Damascus, in which he writes that he is gratified to hear that Newbold is safely housed with the monks in Jerusalem, as the extreme weather after Newbold's departure had given him much concern. He writes of Newbold's exploration of Southern Syria. Wood regrets his failure to trace a parcel which Newbold had sent.
