CORRESPONDENCE RESPECTING 
Letter from Mr. John Barrow to M. Jomard. 
London, 1st December, 1828. 
Sir, 
I have received your obliging letter of the first of 
November and that of the 20th, to which you have had 
the goodness to add printed copies of our correspondence 
on the subject of the two African travellers therein men- 
tioned. 1 beg you to accept my very hearty thanks. The 
explanation you have kindly given in your first letter is 
perfectly satisfactory, and of a nature to convince me 
that I was under a mistake, and that I had confounded 
M. Caillie's happy return with the successful accomplish- 
ment of his enterprise. I have long delayed thanking you, 
that I might be enabled at the same time to send you a 
copy of the map, &c. 
Signed John Bar row. 
Letter of His Excellency the Minister of the Marine 
to M. Jomard. 
Paris, 2nd December, 1828. 
While the definitive recompense which M. Caillie 
may be entitled to expect, on account of the courageous 
enterprise which he has recently accomplished, remains 
in suspense, 1 have proposed to the King to grant to this 
traveller a provisional indemnity of three thousand francs.
