Letter from Captain Thomas John Newbold to Sir George Thomas Staunton in which he writes that he is returning to India after two years in Syria, Palestine and Asia Minor. The fine climate of Syria has improved his health. He intends returning to India through Persia. He sends with the letter copies of inscriptions to be presented to the Royal Asiatic Society. He writes to warn that a parcel of his had been lost last December. He writes of his thoughts on archaeology after the success of Messrs Layard and Botha at Nineveh. Please note that part of this letter is over-written by Newbold - the writing being both horizontally and vertically on the page.

Papers submitted by Newbold to be read at the Royal Asiatic Society or published in its Journal. Also a list of his Papers and a rubbing of an inscription.

"Ancient Inscriptions in Syria and Arabia Copied by Capt Newbold". A paper with copies of inscriptions and hieroglyphs from Newbold's expedition in Syria. This is undated but from the lists in TJN/2/7 it would appear that it was sent to, but not read at, the Royal Asiatic Society in 1849. With the papers is a label which states, "Ancient Inscriptions in Syria. Copied by Capt. Newbold."
