Letter from Joshua Marshman to Thomas Manning. He discusses Manning’s journey to try to reach Pekin. He says that he has discussed it with Mr (William) Carey. [Lapar] would not be able to go on the journey because he is needed for the work in Serampore and is in poor health. He considers Manning’s idea of going via Burma and wishes that he could just set him down in Pekin. Dated 28th August 1810, Handwritten, 1 piece, 3 sides
