schemes for seeing it in company with a certain other person. I
had got glimpses of it every now and then on my way to Burntwood from several parts
of the road. The nearest part is not ½ a mile from the Inn.
I therefore sallied forth but finding it impracticable to master
the whole camp, I contented myself with surrounding a couple
of regiments, who made no resistance. I longed mightily for Wilson
to tell me how and about it: being alone and knowing no
more about these matters than the Man in the Moon, I could
do no more than stare about me like a great goose. In
my way to Burntwood I over took a vehicle that called itself
Warley Camp Common Stage Cart. It contained 3 benches with
3 people on each bench who sat one behind another not as in
Coaches but as in a Playhouse. They were all very decently
dressed, as much so as the common run of people who travel
in Machines. The carriages were as thick almost upon the
road as in London Streets; and the dust consequently as thick
upon my coat as the flour upon a Miller's. At Witham
a place 20 miles beyond Burntwood (37 from London) I stopped
to dine: passing through Chelmsford where Wilson and the rest
of his tribe were labouring or lounging in their vacation. Make
that fellow write to me, and tell me what he has done, particularly
at Hertford, though I must confess my hopes from Mr
Hodges late Mole were pretty much at an end before W. left London
