334 TlMEHRI. 



I have just made arrangements to publish twelve views 

 taken from sketches in the interior during the late expedi- 

 tions. The Duke of Devonshire, who was pleased with 

 the Sketches and the scenery which they represented, 

 has kindly given permission to have them dedicated to 

 him. 



Mr. Stutchbury will give you a Prospe6lus. The 

 sketches are all to be drawn over for displaying every 

 effe6l, and ACKERMAN has undertaken to publish them. 

 As it is to be done on my expense I would not commence 

 the work until I am secured by the numbers of sub- 

 scribers, and I beg therefore your kind co-operation with 

 my other friends to procure subscribers. 



I have found in Captain WASHINGTON a most excel- 

 lent man and very kind friend. It appears to me that 

 no person would be more fit for the situation which he 

 occupies. 



I should be very glad to hear from you and what tour 

 you have sketched out for the next dry season. 



Believe me, very truly yours, 



Robert H. Schomburgk. 



The three Indians who came over with me are in 

 excellent health, and not a little astonished at the sights 

 of London — although their faces do not betray it. It is 

 evident, if we consider them endowed with reason, that 

 it must make impressions upon them. 



William Hilhouse, Esq., Demerara.
