LETTER XXXVI.
To Mr. Pope.

Belgrade Village, June 17, O. S. I HOPE, before this time, you have received two or three of my letters. I had your's but yesterday, though dated the third of February, in which you fuppofe me to be dead and buried. I have already let you know that I am still alive; but to fay truth, I look upon my prefent circumftances to be exactly the fame with those of departed fpirits. The heats of Conftantinople have driven me to this place, which perfectly anfwers the description of the Elyfian fields. I am in the middle of a wood, confifting chiefly of fruit trees, watered by a vaft number of fountains, famous for the excellency of their water, and divided into many 'fhady walks, upon fhort grafs, that seems to me artificial; but, I am affured, is the pure work of nature-within view of the Black Sea, from whence we perpetually enjoy the refreshVOL.
