| Abstract: | Some years ago Mr Con Rutter had acquired the "Crompton" archive and he kindly sent me the letters relating about Malta for publication. Mr Rutter went to great pains to decipher the near illegible handwriting and type them. Unfortunately because of lack of space I was unable to reproduce his contribution until now - my apologies. There are letters for the period 11 December 1824 to March 1826 describing his journey through Italy-Sicily-Malta-Egypt-Syria. I am publishing four letters written by H. Crompton, three written on the 2nd March 1825 to his father Joshua Crompton, one to his sister Miss Crompton while in Malta and one from Alexandria written on the 20th March to his brother Robert.
