Although an official account of the expedition was published as >Denkmäler aus Ägypten und Äthiopien (Berlin: 1849-1858)<, Lepsius `felt that an account of the external circumstances of the expedition was also necessary. He decided to publish his letters describing the day-to-day activities of himself and his party, and these letters, written to Frederick of Prussia, von Humboldt, Bunsen, and others, have been produced with very little editing from the originals`. - Die deutsche Ausgabe lautet: Lepsius, [Karl] Richard: Briefe aus Aegypten, Aethiopien und der Halbinsel des Sinai . erschienen1852. "Drei Jahre durchforschte Lepsius das Niltal bis weit über Khartoum hinaus nach pharaonischen Hinterlassenschaften. Die Ergebnisse in Form von Zeichnungen, Aufmessungen, Abformungen und Beschreibungen übertrafen vor allem in graphischer Genauigkeiten alles bisher Überlieferte. Sie wurden zur Grundlage für die Erforschung der altägyptischen Kultur in allen Bereichen und dienen, publiziert in den berühmten `Denkmälern aus Aegypten und Aethiopien` (12 Bde., 1849-59) . noch heute als unentbehrliches Quellenmaterial" (NDB XIV, S. 308 ff.). Abgesehen von der wissenschaftlichen Aufarbeitung veröffentlichte Lepsius auch diese "Briefe", um weiteren Kreisen ein Bild von seiner Expedition zu vermitteln; sie waren ursprünglich an den König, dessen Minister Eichhorn und Alexander von Humboldt gerichtet, letzterem verdankte Lepsius die Verwirklichung und Auswertung dieser Reise."- Versicherter Versand.
