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.

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
