s to write to me directed to the post office, Cardigan (in Cardiganshire), and either inclose a post office order for five pounds or an order from Lloyd and Co. on the banker of that place for the same sum; but at any rate write or I shall not know what to do. I would return by railroad, but in that event I must go to London, for there are no railroads from here to Shrewsbury. I wish moreover to see a little more. Just speak to the banker and don't lose any time. Send letter, and either order in it, or say that I can get it at the bankers. I hope all is well. God bless you and Hen. GEORGE BORROW. To Mrs. George Borrow TRECASTLE, BRECKNOCKSHIRE, SOUTH WALES, _August 17th._ DEAR CARRETA,--I write to you a few words from this place; to-morrow I am going to Llandovery and from there to Carmarthen; for the first three or four days I had dreadful weather. I got only to Worthen the first day, twelve miles--on the next to Montgomery, and so on. It is now very hot, but I am very well, much better than at Shrewsbury. I hope in a few days to write to you again, and soon to be back to you. God bless you and Hen. G. BORROW. To Mrs. George Borrow LAMPETER, _3rd September 1857._ MY DEAR CARRETA,--I am making the best of my way to Shrewsbury (My face is turned towards Mama). I write this from Lampeter, where there is a college for educating clergymen intended for Wales, which I am going to see. I shall then start for Badnor by Tregaron, and hope soon to be in England. I have seen an enormous deal since I have been away, and have walked several hundred miles. Amongst other places I have seen St. David's, a wonderful half ruinous cathedral on the S. Western end of Pembrokeshire, but I shall be glad to get back. God bless you and Hen. GEORGE BORROW. Henrietta! Do you know who is handsome? To Mrs. George Borrow PRESTEYNE, RADNORSHIRE, _Monday morning._ DEAR CARRETA,--I am just going to start for Ludlow, and hope to be at Shrewsbury on Tuesday night if not on Monday morning. God bless you and Hen. G. BORROW. When I get back I shall have walked more than 400 miles. In _Wild Wales_ we have George Borrow in his most genial mood
