To the Rev.A.Brandram ST.PETERSBURG,AUGUST 27,1833.
REVD.AND DEAR SIR,-The bearer of this letter is Mr.Glen,the son of the celebrated missionary of Astracan.He is desirous of forming your acquaintance,and I take the liberty of making him known to you.He is a young man of considerable learning,and a devout Christian.His object in visiting England is to qualify himself for the missionary calling,in the hope that at some future period he may tread in the steps of his father and proclaim a crucified Saviour to the Oriental heathens.I am at present,thanks be to the Lord,comfortable and happy,and am every day busily engaged in transcribing the Mandchou Old Testament and collating with Mr.Swan.
In the hope that these lines will find you in good health,I have the honour to remain,Revd.and dear Sir,your most obedient servant,G.BORROW.
