I believe my "Bibliotecha Navalis" is left with you let
me have a copy of it. You may add to it "Orbis Maritimisive
"rerum in mari et littoribus gutarum generalis Historia"
Authore Claudio Barth: Moristo divionensi Divione 1643.
It is in folio a pretty large folio and has many cuts
very well executed. My friend Strachan has just made me
a present of it. It is not worth my while to lug it
about with me; therefore it will be sent to you when opportunity
offers.

I found our friend Decourt Master of a very good house and to all
appearance in a very good way of business. His family consists
of a Mother and a Sister who has a daughter about 6 years old and
is a Widow. Her husband died lived only a twelvemonth after they
were married and died on the Wedding day. Partly perhaps from that
circumstance of the day She is as yet inconsolable. I went first
to the Red Lion where I had been recommended as the nearest if
not quite the best Inn and as one at which I should meet with
somebody who understood french or english. This I had not the good luck
to do but I contrived to make them understand that I wanted to be
conducted to Mr Decourt.
