S I R, 



ReadMaidi 12, "f" Beg leave to lay before you a chart 

 _|_ of the Red Sea, conflr Lifted from 

 materials that 1 became poffefied of, during my resi- 

 dence in the Eaft Indias 5 which chart, upon my 

 voyage to Mocha and Judda, I experienced to be 

 the bell I have ever feen. The only material error 

 that I ever difcovered in it, is, that the Ahyffinian 

 fhore oppoiite Mocha is placed too far to the weft- 

 ward by 25 or 30 miles, and that there are feveral 

 fmall iilands upon the fame (hore, not taken notice 

 of in any other chart ; which iflands I have marked 

 in the chart I now fend you (See Tab. III.) toge- 

 ther with two draughts of the roads of Mocha 

 and Judda (Tab. IV.), which, if you think will be 

 of any utility, are entirely at your fervice, 



I am, S I R, 



With the utmofl refpect, 



your mofl obedient humble fervant,
