I have been ill nearly all the winter, but now feel daily better, and when I get on the water I shall soon be well.

We have already had hot and thundery weather, but it has now become cool again.

I have already sold the greater part of my furniture, and am living in furnished apartments which cost me seventy roubles per month; I shall soon be tired of that.

I am expecting a letter from Denmark which will settle matters, and then I can get ready and spread my wings to get out into the world, for this is not the world, but Russia.

I see you have changed houses, for last year you lived at No.37.With kindest regards to your dear ones, I am, dear friend, yours sincerely, JOHN P.HASFELD.[102] FOOTNOTES: [100] Darlow's _George Borrow's Letters to the Bible Society_, page 76.
There are twenty letters written by Borrow from Russia to the Bible Society, contained in T.H.Darlow's _Letters of George Borrow to the British and Foreign Bible Society_, several of which, in the original manuscripts, are in my possession.
