| Description | Dated 23 November. Sends copy of letter he has written to Rev J. G. Dalton of Seagrave suggesting that as Oxford University has begun a new mission into the 'interior of Africa' that Cambridge University might 'take up one of our stations in Upper Nubia, or Egypt, and perhaps found Chartum, the rendezvous place of Upper Egypt, where the White and Green Nile join, the first branch leading into Central Africa, the second into Abyssinia'; they could move on to the Gallas, Tschad Lake and the Hausa nation. |
