Bear this in mind, and if, before you hear from me again, you should have any opportunity to recommend me as a proper person to fill any civil situation in those countries, or to attend any expedition thither, I pray you to lay hold of it, and no conduct of mine shall ever give you reason to repent of it .-- I remain, my dear Sir, your most obliged and obedient servant, GEORGE BORROW.
_P.S._--Present my best remembrances to Mrs.Bowring and to Edgar, and tell them that they will both be starved.

There is now a report in the street that twelve corn-stacks are blazing within twenty miles of this place.

I have lately been wandering about Norfolk, and I am sorry to say that the minds of the peasantry are in a horrible state of excitement.

I have repeatedly heard men and women in the harvest-field swear that not a grain of the corn they were cutting should be eaten, and that they would as lieve be hanged as live.

I am afraid all this will end in a famine and a rustic war.
Borrow's next letter to Bowring that has been preserved is dated 1835 and was written from Portugal.
