and seemed to lay a good deal of stress upon. Had he gone by a
Hamburgh vessel, he would still have lost Holland, and would
not have set out so soon by 4 or 5 days. As he can
go all the way to Groningen in Friesland in Treckschuyts, and
from thence to Hamburgh through Bremen in Stage Coaches, I
should hope that part of his travels will not prove very expensive.
To Hamburgh the passage by Sea is 4 Guineas: to Helvoetshuys
the way he goes, only 1. The 3 guineas difference I should
hope would go a considerable way towards defraying the extra expence
of travelling by land. He will have a great advantage in
the good offices of Mr Strachan Macaulay's friend, whom I
parted with on Friday just about to set off for Harwich. Strachans
behaviour both to me and Sam is beyond imagination friendly.
There is nothing he will not do for me in the way of procuring information
for my work or in any other in which he can be of use
to me. Three days which he has been spending with Macaulay
in Yorkshire I suppose have not hurt me in his good opinion:
and it has fallen in my way to shew some little civilities
to a very intelligent friend of his, a Mr De Court of
Dost. He told me he had a bed for Sam during his stay
at Rotterdam. He had no opportunity to make the offer to Sam
himself, being gone upon his Yorkshire tour before Sam's route was settled.
