pic Society will assist me. It would
answer no purpose to occupy your attention by speaking prolixly of the
purity of my intention and my zeal; time and experience will speak either
for or against me; I will merely enclose this printed paper, by which you
will learn who he is who has taken the liberty of writing to you. It is
superfluous to add that, should you consent to my desire, I should want
all the notices and documents respecting your Society which you could
supply me with.

As I possess some knowledge of English, you might avail yourselves of
this language in your answer, provided the letters used be written
clearly.

I have the honour, etc.

LUIS DE USOZ Y RIO.

P.S.--Should you direct to me directly, or by other means than the post,
my address is: A D. Luis de Usoz y Rio, Calle de Santa Catalina, No. 12
nuevo, Madrid.

To J. Jackson, Esq.

(_Endorsed_: recd. Aug. 26th, 1836)
MADRID, _Aug._ 10, 1836.

MY DEAR SIR,--I have received your two letters containing the 50 pounds
and the resolution of the Society; I have likewise received Mr.
Brandram's.

I shall make the provisional engagement [to print] as desired, and shall
leave Madrid as soon as possible; but I must here inform you that I shall
find much difficulty in returning to England, as all the provinces are
disturbed in consequence of the Constitution of 1812 having been
proclaimed, and the roads are swarming with robbers and banditti. It is
my intention to join some muleteers and attempt to reach Granada, from
whence, if possible, I shall proceed to Malaga or Gibraltar, and thence
to Lisbon, where I left the greatest part of my baggage. Do not be
surprised therefore, if I am tardy in making my appearance. It is no
easy thing at present to travel in Spain. But all these troubles are for
the benefit of the Cause, and must not be repined at.

I remain, my dear Sir, most truly yours,

G. B.

Report of Mr. Geo. Borrow's late Proceedings in Spain

LONDON, _October_ 17, 1836.

On the 16th of January I quitted Badajoz, a Spanish town on the frontier

motive for visiting the Spanish capital was the hope o
