To the Rev.G.Browne (ENDORSED:recd.Sept.6th,1838)MADRID,AUG.29,1838.
REVD.AND DEAR SIR,-I am this moment arrived at Madrid from my expedition in Old Castile,and I have received your kind lines appended to my friend Mr.Brandram's communication.
I will set out for England as soon as possible;but I must be allowed time.I am almost dead with fatigue,suffering and anxiety;and it is necessary that I should place the Society's property in safe and sure custody.
It has pleased the Lord to assist me visibly in my last journey.
In the midst of a thousand perils I have disposed of nine hundred Testaments amongst the peasantry on the north side of the precipitous hills of the Guadarama range,and all in the space of three weeks.In a day or two I shall write to Mr.Brandram with particulars.
Pray excuse these hasty lines;present my kindest remembrances to Mrs.Browne,and believe me,Revd.and dear Sir,Gratefully and truly yours,GEORGE BORROW.
