Florence Friday Sept. 23 1785
Hon:d Sir
We sailed from Genoa on Saturday afternoon the 17th instant. A little before I embarked
I sent a letter for you to the Post-Office. My orders were that it should be put
into the French post: but that being shut, my servant put the letter into the Genoese Office
which he found open. This Genoese post goes by way of Turin and flanders: but though it
sets out on the Saturday night letters sent by it do not reach England so soon by three
days as those sent by the French post, though the latter does not set out till the Monday
after. We came to an anchor at Leghorn about 10 o'clock on Tuesday morning (the 20th)
We found the lodging so dear at that port that after having looked about us a little and examined
all the Inns we determined to return and sleep on board for that night, which was
all the Captain would allow us. As he keeps shop on board of ship, it is necessary he
should have it clear to receive his customers. Mr Henderson's arm growing rather worse
than better, and being so bad as to render the jolting of a carriage dangerous, it was determined
that I alone should go to Florence. I accordingly filled a little leather trunk with necessaries
for the journey and got a boat called to take me from the ship to the Key (which is about
¼ of a mile) about 8 o'clock, being the time when a carriage, for which I had agreed
with the Post-Master, was to meet me.
