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 want, 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 Banker's.

I hope all is well. God bless you and Hen.

GEORGE BORROW.

LETTER IV.

LAMPETER
_September_ 3_rd_, [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 Radnor by Tregavon, 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 at the 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?

We did not start from Yarmouth till past three o'clock on Thursday
morning; we reached Newcastle about ten on Friday. As I was walking in
the street at Newcastle a sailor-like man came running up to me, and
begged that I would let him speak to me. He appeared almost wild with
joy. I asked him who he was, and he told me he was a Yarmouth north
beach man, and that he knew me very well. Before I could answer, another
sailor-like, short, thick fellow came running up, who also seemed wild
with joy; he was a comrade of the other. I never saw two people so out
of themselves with pleasure, they literally danced in the street; in
fact, they were two of my old friends. I asked them how they came down
there, and they told me that they had been down fishing. They begged a
thousand pardons for speaking to me, but told me they could not help it.

I set of
