In the autumn on 1795, Samuel William Ryley and his wife, Ann, are in Castletown, where again Samuel chances upon Dr Jacob Hammer and invites him to dine with them. The Dr has no money and is in dread of ending up as a debtor in Castle Rushen, but an official pass is not available to leave the Island until all debts are settled. Bram Stoker's 'Dracula' is an epistolary novel, and in our Manx translation we hear Mina Murray's letter from Buda-Pesth to Lucy Westenra about Jonathan Harker's condition and their impending wedding. In fact, she's writing her letter as Mina Harker. Lucy replies to say the Whitby air has done her huge good, and that her fiance Arthur is with her. Finally, we hear more about the patient, Renfield, from Dr John Seward's diary.
