ore I leave Cornwall. I am very much pleased with the country.
When you receive this if you please to write a line _by return of post_ I
think you may; the Tredinnock people wish me to stay with them for a day
or two. When you see the Cobbs pray remember me to them. I am sorry
Horace has lost his aunt, he will _miss her_. Love to Hen.

Ever yours, dearest,
G. BORROW.

(Keep this.)

DEAR CARRETA,

I am just going to start for Ludlow, 18 miles, and hope to be at
Shrewsbury on Tuesday night, if not on Wednesday morning. God bless you
and Hen,

J. BORROW.

When I get back I shall have walked more than 400 miles.

LETTER XII.
_To_ MARY BORROW.

53A PALL MALL,
LONDON.
[1857]

DEAR WIFE CARRETA,

I arrived here at about five o'clock this morning. Since I saw you I
have walked about 250 miles. I walked the whole way from the North to
the South, then turning to the East traversed Glamorganshire and the
county of Monmouth, and came out at Chepstow. My boots were worn up by
the time I reached Swansea, and I was obliged to get them new soled and
welted. I walked every inch of the way.

I have seen wonderful mountains, waterfalls, and people. On the side of
the Black Mountains I met a cartload of real Gypsies. They were in a
dreadful rage, and were abusing the country right and left. My last
ninety miles proved not very comfortable, there was so much rain.

Pray let me have some money by Monday, as I am nearly without any, as you
may well suppose, for I was three weeks on my journey. I left you on a
Thursday, and reached Chepstow yesterday, Thursday evening. I hope you,
my mother, and Hen are well. I have seen M. and C.

God bless you,
