Letter of His Ea;c, the Minister of the Marine, 
Paris, 11th November 1828, 
Gentlemen, 
You have done me the honour of recommending to 
me the Sieur Caillie vrho has just accomplished a journey 
to Timbuctoo and several other parts of Central Africa, 
and is recently arrived at Toulon. 
The Minister of the Interior has also written to me 
in favour of M. Caillie. My answer to His Exc, is that it 
belongs to his office to provide this traveller with the as- 
sistance which seems to be most necessary to him, and 
that I shall with pleasure concur in any ulterior measures 
that may be adopted by the department of the interior, to 
make a suitable compensation for the labours and zeal 
of M. Caillie, whose claims upon the favour of govern- 
ment I fully appreciate. 
Permit me, &c. 
Signed Baron Hyde de Neuville.
