Portée et contenu
Sketch map in pencil showing Forrest's escape route from Tsekou [Cigu] on the 19th July to ~4th August at Yeh Chih [Yezhi]. The map was drawn by Forrest, presumably some time after the event, but is stored alongside the letter of the 10th October 1905, to which it relates. This may be an earlier version of the ink map (GB 235 FRG/1/1/1/1905/54).
