far as Copdock, where I was met by my Cousin's Man with a
very handsome pair of Horses, & found the roads good much beyond
your expectation, owing it seems to the neighbourhood & attention
of two Justices of the Peace, Mr Chevalier & Mr Capper

cypresses we so much admired, as well as several other trees, were
