Rue de Seine
Petit Hotel d'Angleterre PARIS Thursday
Sept:r 15th 1770.
Hon:d Sir
I am at length arrived at this place after meeting
with a variety of adventures, pleasing and disagreeable; mixing with
a variety of characters, admirable and contemptible; and undergoing
a variety of fatigues which would have killed some people, but seem
rather to have mended my health than impaired it — It is a great
happiness however that those of my adventures which have been of
the unpleasant kind have left no such consequences behind them;
and being singular to me however common in themselves, are now
become pleasant in the recollection however much soever otherwise
in the sufferance — I had once intended to have given you
a minute detail of my progress from my setting out to my
arrival, in my first letter; but I find it upon a little reflection
to be impossible; and that I should then be spending all
my time in writing my history when I should be acting it — let
it suffice for the present that I sat out from London this
day sennight with Mr Clark in his Fitiwhisky; got to Brighthemlston at noon on Friday, sat out from thence on Saturday
evening after parting with Mr Clark in the morning - embark'd
on board the package boat on Saturday between 7 & 8 in the evening, after
parting with Mr Clark in the morning — arrived at Dieppe
on Sunday about noon, and at this place yesterday about the
same time, on Horses, Asses, in Boats, ChamberPots,+ and
+ Pots de Chambre, a kind of 2-wheeled 2-horsed voiture, clumsy to
the most exquisite perfection.
a floating kind of Black Hole, which in Calcutta must have
infallibly have been inattended with the consequences of it there. out
of this time, I spent the greatest part of a day at Rouen, the
pleasantest, most stinking place I have ever seen.
