14 Brunswick Sqr. - The Royal Geographical Society has refused an application for funds for an African journey by [Nathan] Davis: Dr Shaw suggests the Dilettanti might be interested. Davis' aim is to establish sites of cities mentioned by Classical authors; his preparations; the writer's own interest derives from former residence at Tunis.
Enclosure: A statement relative to the operations of the Society for Exploring and Evangelizing Central Africa, by means of native agency. Printed: London, Arthur & Warren Hall, 1855.
