MADRID, _April_ 27, 1837.

MY DEAR SIR,--Please to let the bearer have the under-mentioned Bibles;
they are for Dr. Usoz, from whom I have received their value.

Entire Bible in German.

Entire Bible in Modern Greek.

Do. do. in Portuguese.

If possible, I should wish to have the New Testament in Persian, for my
own private use.

Most sincerely yours,

GEORGE BORROW.

The Basque translation of St. Luke is completed and in my possession; the
whole expense attending it amounts to 8 pounds and a few odd shillings.

REVD. AND DEAR SIR,--Do me the favour after reading the enclosed letter,
and making what use of it you please, to seal it, pay the postage, and
despatch it to Russia. It contains all I have at present to say, and is
as much intended for yourself, as for the person to whom it is directed.
I leave Madrid in about three days, and it is my intention to write
frequently whilst upon my journey; but should few letters reach you, be
not surprised, but attribute it to the state of the country, which is
terrible indeed. I am first going to Salamanca, by the pass of the
Guadarama; from thence to Burgos; then to the Asturias, Galicia, and
Biscay, and along the whole chain of the Pyrenees.

Some hundreds of our books have been placed in the hands of a bookseller
at Madrid, and I have ordered them to be advertised, once a week, in the
principal journals. Dr. Usoz and another friend will do what they can in
my absence.

To-morrow I send the bill of my expenses; it would have been despatched
sooner, but I could not obtain my account from Mr. O'Shea.

I remain, Revd. and dear Sir, most faithfully yours,

G. BORROW.

_P.S._--My best remembrances to Mr. Jowett, Mr. Browne, and all my
friends.

To Mr. John Hasfeldt

MADRID, 29 _April_, 1837.

I received your letter of last January a few weeks since, and I sincerely
hope that mine of February may hav
