      Letter I.

      To Ann Borrow.

      Spain,

      [Post-mark February 9th, 1838.]

      My Dear Mama,

      As I am afraid that you may not have received my last letter in consequence of several couriers having been stopped, I write to inform you that I am quite well.

      I have been in some difficulties.  I was selling so many Testaments that the Priests became alarmed, and prevailed on the government to put a stop to my selling any more.  They were likewise talking of prosecuting me as a Witch, but they have thought better of it.

      I hear it is very cold in England.  Pray take care of yourself.  I shall send you more in a few weeks.

      God bless you,

      My Dear Mama,

      G. B.

      Letter II.

      Oulton,

      Lowestoft,

      Suffolk.

      August 11th, 1843.

      My Dear Sir,

      Many thanks for your interesting and kind letter, in which you do me the honour to ask my opinion respecting the pedigree of your
