I am glad that I came to London. I find myself much the better for
having done so, I was going on in a very spiritless manner. Everybody I
have met seems very kind and glad to see me. Murray seems to be
thoroughly staunch. Cooke, to whom I mentioned the F. T. says that
Murray was delighted with the idea, and will be very glad of the 4th of
_Lavengro_. I am going to dine with Murray today, Thursday. W. called
upon me today.
I wish you would send me a blank cheque in a letter so that if I want
money I may be able to draw for a little. I shall not be long from home,
but now I am here I wish to do all that's necessary. If you send me a
blank cheque I suppose W. or M. would give me the money. I hope you got
my last letter. I received yours, and C. has just sent the two copies of
L. you wrote for, and I believe some engravings of the picture. I shall
wish to return it by the packet if possible, and will let you know when I
am coming. I hope to write again shortly to tell you some more news.
How is mother and Hen and how are the creatures? I hope all well. I
trust you like all I propose; now I am here I want to get two or three
things, to go to the Museum, and to arrange matters.
God bless you.
[GEORGE BORROW.]
Love to Mother and Hen.
