MADRID, 19 _Sepr._ 1838,
No. 16 CALLE SANTIAGO.

REVD. AND DEAR SIR,--I write this to inform you that for the last ten
days I have been confined to my bed by a fever. I am now better, and
hope in a few days to be able to proceed to Saragossa, which is the only
road open.

I bore up against my illness as long as I could, but it became too
powerful for me. By good fortune I obtained a decent physician, a Dr.
Hacayo, who had studied medicine in England, and aided by him and the
strength of my constitution I got the better of my attack, which however
was a dreadfully severe one.

I hope my next letter will be from Bordeaux. I cannot write more at
present, for I am very feeble.

I remain, Revd. and dear Sir, truly yours,

G. BORROW.

the Scripture, and to the opposition and encouragement which I have
experienced. As my chief objects are brevity and distinctness I shall at
once enter upon my subject, abstaining from reflections of every kind,
which in most cases only tend to embarrass, being anxious to communicate
facts alone, with most of which, it is true, you are already tolerably
well acquainted, but upon all and every of which I am eager to be
carefully and categorically questioned. It is neither my wish nor my
interest to conceal one particular of what I have been doing. And with
these few prefatory observations I commence.

In the first place, my literary labours. Having on my former visit to
Spain obtained from the then Prime Minister Isturitz and his Cabinet
permission and encouragement for the undertaking, I publishe
