 H^t^l insertion in Timehri: — 



Post at Cuyuni, 



the 25th Septber., 1835. 



Dear Sir, — We arrived safe at the post last Tuesday 

 evening, where I will be detained for a few days in order 

 to colle6t the crew for the Corials, several of which live 

 at some distance. I do not regret this delay, as the 

 weather is still unsettled and unfavourable for my expe- 

 dition, and as it will afford me an opportunity to rate my 

 watches and to take a series of astronomical observations. 



It has been connefted with some difficulties to procure 

 the necessary crew, and Mr. RiCHARDSON, succeeded to- 

 day to persuade four Carabisce Indians to accompany 

 me. Mr. RiCHARDSON is unwearied in his attention to 

 forward the interest of the expedition, and deserves 

 every gratitude from my side. 



I beg you, in case letters should have arrived for me, to 

 send them under Mr. RichardSON's address, to Messrs. A. 

 Glen & Co., who very likely will be able to forward them 

 before I have left for the interior, Mr. Albuoy's schooner 

 being expe6led here at the commencement of the week. 



I am with every sentiment of regard and esteem. — 

 Dear Sir, Your very Obedt, & humble Servt., 



ROBERT SCHOMBURGK.

Government Secretary,
