LETTERS TO ANN BORROW
AND OTHER CORRESPONDENTS

LETTER I.
_To_ ANN BORROW.

SPAIN,
[_Post-mark February_ 9_th_, 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,
