Andrews, Seville to Grantham, Madrid Arrived today, having visited the spot where Don Quixote was dubbed a Knight, humourously compares Spaniards he has met to characters in the novel. Visited Carolina, amazed at progress made in colonising and cultivating the Sierra Morena, hitherto deserts, under the supervision of Don Pablo Mavido, to whom Andrews was recommended by General Reilly. "The grounds are much more agreeable to me than if they were level. They are bosomy". Quotes from the "Georgicks": "Et tumulis acclive solum, collesque supini" Met Don Luis d'Urbano, who sends his regards. Letter from Lord Townshend, who expects to leave Ireland soon. Horse "damnably tired of his journey and wishes he had staid at home".
