1846 Samuel Baker. 1878 (Sep 18) Three page letter written and signed by the explorer Samuel Baker from his home at Newton Abbot, to Carl Giegler (Director of Posts in the Sudan, later Deputy Governor), posted from Dartmouth to Giegler in Khartoum, redirected to Cairo, the stamp unfortunately cut out. Baker thanks Giegler for his letter with a short note from General Gordon which he sent to The Times for publication, encloses The Times article, and asks him to send periodic letters and sketches on the residents and progress of the Soudan and Equatorial Provinces to the newspaper and they will pay him as one of their correspondents. Baker reflects on the success of his earlier expedition which laid the foundation of European influence in Egypt and Soudan and doomed the slave trade to extinction, and refutes the allegations of that drunken scoundrel McWilliams who accused him of having women and children shot. Samuel Baker, the discoverer of Lake Albert, led an expedition to the equatorial regions of the Nile in 1865 to suppress the slave trade and open the country to commerce and civilisation, serving as Governor-General of Equatoria for 4 years, his mission then continued by the new Governor Col.

Grant discusses the proposed Cape Town to Egypt telegraph line; "the Supt at the Cape, Mr Sivewright, proposes a line from Kimberley or Pretoria to Nyassa, thence to Zanzibar, Uganda and Gondokoro &c. ....... I have obtained the opinions of several travellers in Africa, Baker, Cameron, Stanley and of gentlemen who have put down Persian lines, Sir F. Goldsmith & others. The only one who is dead against the proposal is Sir Samuel Baker. He thinks that the Shillooks, Denkas, Nouers &c. would never for a moment stand the temptation because the iron would be as valuable to them as gold is to us. However I am anxious to have your candid opinion. ...... Does Col. Gordon think it practicable". An exceptional letter and rare early cover to Sudan. Photo on Page 230. (Image1)

1850 Samuel Baker. 1883 (Feb 1) Cover addressed to "Giegler Pacha, Khartoum, Soudan per Major General Hicks", the enclosed letter written and signed by Samuel Baker from Shepherds Hotel in Cairo. Baker introduces Col. Hicks, Major-General in the service of the Khedive who, in command, will organise the British troops and form a Turkish Battalion, and then discusses the crisis in Soudan - "I cannot see how the troops in Darfur and Kordofan can be relieved as it would be impossible to send a sufficient force across the desert now that the wells are destroyed. Should the troops at Obeid and Bara be forced to capitulate the effect upon the forces at Khartoum and throughout the Soudan would be serious and might be a severe test of their loyalty. I have advised that a great Sheik a true descendent of the Prophet should be sent up to the Soudan to preach to the people and to arrange a counter-movement to that of the Mahdi .....". An important letter, ex. Rossiter and Firebrace.
