LEAVES THEY HAVE TOUCHED. 5^45 



Pray send me also my Bokhara Journal. I shall be tappy to be 

 enabled to be of use to you ; for you have bad a great deal of trouble 

 with them. Yours affectionately, Joseph Wolff; " The maiden 

 name of Lady Georgiana, was Walpole. She was a daughter of the 

 second Earl of Orford. Somewhat eccentric herself, she became 

 enamoured of the Rabbi's son, Joseph Wolff, whose exterior was not 

 beautiful, nor by any means usually kept in trim order. The union 

 proved happy. She accompanied her husband in his missionary 

 excursions among the Jews and M'ahommedans. In 1843 he was 

 sent by the British Government to Bokhara, to ascertain the fate of 

 Colonel Stoddart and Captain Conolly. This is one of the works 

 referred to in the note. His missionary travels, he himself proclaimed 

 in one of his books, surpassed those of St. Paul. " I, Joseph Wolff," 

 he says, " also am an Israelite of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe 

 of Levi, and I have preached the Gospel not only from Jerusalem 

 roimd aboiit Illyricum, but also from the Thames to the Oxus and 

 the Ganges, and the New World." He was admitted to deacon's 

 orders ia the " New World," by Bishop Doane, of New Jersey. He 

 in after years had the living of Isle-Brewers in Somersetshire, where 

 he died in 1862.
