“I find here still the Jews. The same precise account of their
arrival and taking up their residence in the valleys of Atlas. One is
here from Jerusalem begging alms, unusual amongst the Jews. He
is advanced in years, quite blind, and has kept constant pace with
me, taking advantage of my escorts from Tangier to this place: is
anxious to get to Arowan,[160] where there is a very learned Rabbi. I
cannot help him; my means will not allow me. They ask nearly as
much for his passage as my own; having a greater fear of the Jews
getting to Soudan than the Christians. I trust by this time your Royal
Highness has recovered your perfect sight, hoping that about the
period of this letter’s reaching England, your Royal Highness will
have received the copies of the inscriptions from the tombs of the
district of Mesfywa. I can hardly expect the copy of the record from
Couba or Kobba will reach Morocco till the end of the autumn, when
the Rabbi told me he should be returning, and would deliver it to the
Consular Agent, the Jew Courkoss, to whom I have several times
written. My companion begs most respectfully to present his duty,
and hopes your Royal Highness will deign to receive the few lines
from his pen, which he begs me to enclose. I am sorry to say I have
great fears for his health; he cannot bear fatigue, and has been
attacked with ophthalmia. The whole of the Soudan people know
him, and tell me he will prove a certain passport; that he is a cousin
of Hamed Libboo; and another of his cousins, Ali, called Koutouk,
the warrior, is now king of Kong, and that many of his family are at
Kong, all rich and in power.
“Hoping this will find your Royal Highness in the enjoyment of
perfect health, and trusting shortly to have the honour of addressing
your Royal Highness from Soudan,
“I have the honour to be, &c. &c.
“John Davidson.”
“‘Even now,’ he adds, ‘after waiting for the Cafila, which will be
immense, near 400 men, and, they say, 2,000 camels, I am not even
going with it. I should, by all accounts, as a Christian and a doctor,
be worried to death. I go straight from this to Arowan, never touching
the Cafila route at all; we shall not see a single tent. There are some
wells, known only to two or three of the guides. We take five naggas
(she camels) for milk, the five men, and Mohammed El Abd, some
zimēta (barley meal). I take the biscuit for Abou and self; each
carries a skin of water, to be touched only if the milk fails: thirty days
to bring us to Arowan, and five more to Timbuctoo.’
“I have made the above extracts to assure you that the
arrangements were made, and Mr. Davidson ready to start at a
moment’s notice, and that in the course of two or three days I hope
to have the pleasure to acquaint you of his having proceeded on his
journey. Once away from Wád Nún, and I have every and the fullest
confidence of his efforts being crowned with success.
“I have the honour to be, Sir,
“Your most obedient servant,
“Wm. Willshire.”
“P.S.—I open this letter to add, I have received a letter from Mr.
Davidson, dated Saturday, the 5th inst., who appears in high spirits,
and writes,—
“‘The start is to be on Monday, although I do not go on that day;
everything is now packed up, and placed ready to be put on the
camels, with which Abou starts at day-break on Monday. I am to be
left here, as if having sent him on. Mohammed El Abd remains
behind. On Wednesday or Thursday, according to the distance made
by the camels on the first day, we start on horseback, accompanied
by Beyrock and about six horsemen, and are to make Yeisst, if
possible, in one day. Here I leave the district of Wadnoon. And to this
place is three days’ journey for loaded camels. I here leave my horse
and mount my camel, and we push on to the tents.’
“Mr. Davidson did not start on a sudden, on the 3d inst., as stated
to me by a courier, who brought me a letter from him of that date,
and which I reported in a letter I had the honour to address to his
Majesty’s secretary of state, Viscount Palmerston, on the 8th inst.,
and which you will oblige me by correcting and making known to his
lordship.
“Your most obedient servant,
“W. W.”
The following extracts from Mr. Willshire’s letters will give all the
intelligence received respecting the sequel of Mr. Davidson’s
expedition:—
Society of London:—

Hussein, whom God protect.
“An English gentleman having arrived at Gibraltar within a few
days past, as bearer of a letter, which he is charged to deliver to his
Imperial Majesty, from the King my most gracious sovereign, may it
please your Imperial Majesty to deign to cause me to be informed
when and where it may be convenient for your Imperial Majesty to
receive the bearer of the royal letter.
“Peace—this 20th day of September, in the year of Christ 1835

“Edw. Drummond Hay,
“H. B. M.’s Agent and Consul-General in Morocco.”
“In the name of the merciful God, and there is no power or
strength but in God the high and excellent.
“To the faithful employed Drummond Hay, Consul for the English
nation—this premised—
“Your letter has reached our presence, exalted of God, regarding
the gentleman who arrived at Gibraltar with a letter from the Pre-
eminent of your nation; in consequence whereof, if he please to
deliver the letter to our employed, the kaid ............[202] Essedy, for the
purpose of being forwarded to our presence, exalted of God, he may
do so; but if he wish to bear it himself, he is to proceed to Swerrah
by sea, and thence he may come to our high presence, since the
voyage by sea is more convenient than that by land, and the journey
from the said port to our presence is short.
“Peace—11th Joomad the 2d, 1251 (4th October, 1835).
