clock & there met Mr Clark's beloved bags, which we had been obliged to send on
thither with a few shirts: but as for the trunk we were forced to send
that to Bristol: & God knows when we shall see it again. there I enjoy'd
clean linnen for the first time since the Friday before. on Thursday
after dressing ourselves and spending a long time in taking a particular
view of the Cathedral we sat out for Ross, not 'till 3 in the afternoon
in a broiling Sun, dined at a Village about 6 miles in the way, and

one has a nearer view of the black mountains, which we saw from Cleye hill
when we went with Mr Reid to his living. I should have been glad to have
gone there now, but we found it would lie too much out of our beat.
and most part of yesterday we spent at Ross, & came away unwillingly

good time in the Evening after a most delicious walk which even exceeded
that from Gloucester to Ross, as we had the River Wye to enhance the
beauty of the prospect. the distance from Gloucester to Ross is 17 miles,
& that from Ross hither 10 miles. as for the rest that we did, & the
Castle that we saw, are they not written in the book of the Chronicles
of the journey of Rich. Clark and Jere: Bentham? - as for our
further intentions, I believe they will undergo some alteration from
the lights communicated to us by Dr Roberts; as I believe we shall find
it necessary to leave the trouble we have occasioned to you and Mr Browne
ineffectual & to confine ourselves to Monmouth Sh. & Glamorgn. Sh. when
we are got to Bristol, I will account to you for our intermediate proceedings unless Mr
Clark should then write which I believe he thinks of doing, in the mean time
