indebted to
me
Should you discover at any time any inaccuracy in the accounts which I
transmit, you will much oblige me by instantly making me acquainted with
the same, in order that a satisfactory explanation may be given. The
sacrifice of time to the correction of the manuscript and proof-sheets
scarcely allows me a moment's leisure, and I am moreover compelled to
superintend the printers and book-binders, for everything goes wrong
without a strict surveillance.
By the time these lines reach you the Acts of the Apostles (the Lord
willing) will have passed through the press. Next week I hope to write
to the Revd. J. Jowett.
I remain, etc.,
G. BORROW.
P.S.--I believe that the seven shillings may be accounted for in this
manner. I charged seven _pounds_ for my passage to Hamburg, whereas I
paid seven _guineas_.
To the Rev. J. Jowett

ST. PETERSBURG, _Febry._ 20 [old style], 1835.
REVD. AND DEAR SIR,--I take advantage of the period of the Russian
Carnival, during which all business is at a stand-still, to transmit to
you some account of the manner in which I have been engaged, since the
time when I last addressed myself to you. True it is, that I have not
much to communicate; for the history of one day is that of a week, and a
month; and when I state that the printing of the Mandchou New Testament
is advancing rapidly to a conclusion, I shall have stated all I can of
much importance; but as you and our excellent friends at home have a
right to demand particulars, I will endeavour to be as particular as lie
