LETTERS TO HIS MOTHER ANN BORROW AND OTHER CORRESPONDENTS BY GEORGE BORROW LONDON: PRINTED FOR PRIVATE CIRCULATION 1913 _Copyright in the United States of America_ _by Houghton_, _Mifflin & Co. for Clement Shorter_. LETTERS TO ANN BORROW AND OTHER CORRESPONDENTS LETTER I. _To_ ANN BORROW. SPAIN, [_Post-mark February_ 9_th_, 1838.] MY DEAR MAMA, As I am afraid that you may not have received my last letter in consequence of several couriers having been stopped, I write to inform you that I am quite well. I have been in some difficulties. I was selling so many Testaments that the Priests became alarmed, and prevailed on the government to put a stop to my selling any more. They were likewise talking of prosecuting me as a Witch, but they have thought better of it. I hear it is very cold in England. Pray take care of yourself. I shall send you more in a few weeks. God bless you, My Dear Mama, G. B. Letter II. _To_ A Correspondent. OULTON, LOWESTOFT, SUFFOLK. _August_ 11_th_, 1843. MY DEAR SIR, Many thanks for your interesting and kind letter, in which you do me the honour to ask my opinion respecting the pedigree of your island goblin, _le feu follet Belenger_; that opinion I cheerfully give, with a promise that it is only an opinion; in hunting for the etymons of these fairy names we can scarcely expect to arrive at any thing like certainty.
