o the original. In the mean time I
shall pursue my studies, and be getting every thing in readiness for
setting the printers at work; and with a humble request for _speedy
instructions_, in order that as little time as possible may be lost in
the work of the Lord, I have the honour to remain, Revd. and dear Sir,

Your most obedient and humble servant,

GEORGE BORROW.

P.S.--My kindest regards to Mr. Brandram and my other dear friends at the
Bible House. I thank you heartily for your kind advice in the latter
part of your last epistle. Do me the favour to inform Dr. Richardson
that I have followed his instructions in regard to clothing, etc., and
have derived great benefit therefrom.

To the Rev. Joseph Jowett

ST. PETERSBURG, _Febry._ 15 (old style), 1834.

REVD. AND DEAR SIR,--Having forgotten in my last letter to say something
which I intended, I take the liberty of troubling you with these lines.
But first of all I must apologise for certain slips of the pen in the
Report which I transmitted; for it left me without having been corrected,
Baron Schilling having called upon me just as I sat down to the task, and
when he had departed, I had barely time to seal it and despatch it by
that week's post. There was in it, I believe, nothing of much importance
which required alteration, but, if I mistake not, I had written, in the
third side, vibebam, instead of _viverem_, and unaparelled, or some such
word, instead of _unparalleled_, in the fourth. Now to the point.

What is to be done with the transcript of Puerot's translation of the
Acts of the Apostles, which I made, and which is now in my possession?
The translation is in every respect an admirable one; clear, faithful,
and elegant. It would not do to print it in lieu of Mr. Lipoftsoff's
translation of that part of the New Testament; because the styles of the
two individuals are so different, that to mix up the writings of the one
with those of the other would only serve to disfigure the work, and Mr.
Lipoftsoff's translation is well worthy of being printed separately and
entire; but I conceive that we possess a treasure in Puerot's writings,
and that it would be a great pity to hide any portion of them from the
world. Pray communicate this hint to the Committee, and pardon me for
troubling
