He is still called the "wild man of the woods." He was one day sent to me at my request, and I talked with him.

His features indicate him to be of the Tharoo tribe, who are found only in that forest.

He is very inoffensive, but speaks little, and that little imperfectly; and he is still impatient of intercourse with his fellow-men, particularly with such as are disposed to tease him with questions.

I asked him whether he had any recollection of having been with wolves.

He said "the wolf died long before the hermit;" but he seemed to recollect nothing more, and there is no mark on his knees or elbows to indicate that he ever went on all fours.
