Letters of George Borrow to the British and Foreign Bible Society

by George Borrow

I remain, Reverend and dear Sir,

Your most humble and obliged servant,

George Borrow.

P.S.—Baron Schilling wishes to have a Chinese Testament of the large edition: pray, send one if possible, and direct it to me at the Sarepta House. Be particular to remember that it must be of the large edition, for he has one of the small already in his possession. He wishes likewise to have Gutzlaff and Lindsay’s Voyages.

Enclosed in the letter is the following certificate.

Testifico—

Dominum Burro ab initio usque ad hoc tempus summa cum deligentia et studio in re Mantshurica laborasse.

Lipovzoff.

To J. Tarn, Esq.

St. Petersburg, Decr. 15/27, 1834.
