I Wish I Could Give You A Better Word Than The Scotch One To "Put A Stout Heart To A Stey Brae" - (A Steep Ascent) - For You Will Do That; And I Am Thankful That, Before Going Away, The Fever Had Changed Into The Intermittent, Or Safe Form.

I have worked as hard as I could copying observations made in one line of march from Kabuire, back again to Cazembe, and on to Lake Baugweolo, and am quite tired out. My large figures fill six sheets of foolscap, and many a day will elapse ere I take to copying again. I did my duty when ill at Ujiji in 1869, and am not to blame, though they grope a little in the dark at home. Some Arab letters have come, and I forward them to you.

P.S. - I have written a note this morning to Mr. Murray, 50, Albemarle Street, the publisher, to help you, if necessary, in sending the Journal by book post, or otherwise, to Agnes. If you call on him you will find him a frank gentleman. A pleasant journey to you.

David Livingstone.
