want very much to pay you up your interest. I can do so without
the slightest inconvenience. I have money. It is well I have,
as it seems to be almost my only friend. God bless you. Kind

Here I find a letter from Mrs. MacOubrey to her stepfather:

To George Borrow, Esq.

SOUTHGATE HOUSE, BURY ST. EDMUNDS, _Novbr. 25th, 1873._

MY BELOVED FRIEND,--I sincerely trust that you are well, and
received my letter which I sent about ten days ago. Miss Harvey
is pretty well and very kind, and it really is a great pleasure
to be here during the dark foggy month of November, the most
disagreeable in London. I saw Miss Beevor the other day; she is
confined to the house with rheumatism and a strain; she was so
pleased to see me, and talked about the Images of Mildenhall.
They now set up for the great county gentry; give very grand
entertainments, dinners, etc., and go also to grand dinners, so
their time is fully taken up going and receiving; they never
scarce honour the little paltry town of Bury St. Edmunds.
Bloomfield, the old butler, is gone to service again; he could
not bear himself without horses, so he is gone to the Wigsons,
near Bury, where he will have plenty of hunters to look after;
he wished to live with Miss Harvey.

Poor Miss Borton died about a week ago; she did not live long
to enjoy the huge fortune her brother left. Bury seems very
much changing its inhabitants, but there are still some nice
people. I shall always like it while dear Miss Harvey lives;
she is so very kind to me. It is extremely cold, but we keep
tremendous fires, which combats it.

I do sincerely trust, dear, that you are well. I should like
to have a line just to say how you are. I return to London the
6th of Decbr., not later, but you see Miss Harvey likes to keep
me as long as she can, and I am very happy with her, but at
that time I shall be sure to be at home. If you were going up
to London I would leave sooner. If you want any medicine or
anything, only let me know and you shall have it.

Accept my most affec. love, and believe me ever, your attached
daughter,

HENRIETTA MACOUBREY.

_P.S._--Miss Harvey desires her kind regards. May God b
