Letters to his wife Mary Borrow by George Borrow

FORT AUGUSTUS, "Sunday", "October" 7"th", [1858].

DEAR CARRETA, I write a line lest you should be uneasy. Before leaving the Highlands I thought I would see a little more about me. So last week I set on a four days' task, a walk of a hundred miles. I returned here late last Thursday night. I walked that day forty-five miles; during the first twenty the rain poured in torrents, and the wind blew in my face. The last seventeen miles were in the dark. To-morrow I proceed towards Mull.
