Goodbye, my faithful friend and second father.

Goodbye, all, and last of all Mina! Same day, later .-- I have made the effort, and God helping me, have come safely back to this room.

I must put down every detail in order.
I went whilst my courage was fresh straight to the window on the south side, and at once got outside on this side.

The stones are big and roughly cut, and the mortar has by process of time been washed away between them.

I took off my boots, and ventured out on the desperate way.
