And here another Letter of Master Newbery, to the aforesaid Master Poore of London; written from Babylon the 20th July, 1583

My last I sent you was the 29th of May last past, from Aleppo, by George Gill, the Purser of the Tiger, which ¹ the last day of the same month came from thence and arrived at Feluge the 19th day of June; which Feluge is one day’s journey from hence. Notwithstanding, some of our company came not hither till the last day of the last month, which was for want of Camels to carry our goods; for at this time of the year, by reason of the great heat that is here, Camels are very scant ² to be gotten.
