Scope and content
Ostend. Thursday night at Golden Cross, Charing Cross - room facing street, so no sleep. Dover coach at 6am 0 took 14 rather than advertised 11 hours. A female fellow traveller going to Paris to see plays - did not understand French, and did not realise that Parisian plays would be in French. A French lady in the coach was as ugly and as agreeable as sin. Met the master of a small vessel on Friday evening, and set sail for Ostend at 1.00 on Saturday morning - very seasick. Landed at 6.00 on Sunday morning. Must stay in Ostend until the following day, because 4/5 days ago the government (NB which?) made a passport necessary for onward travel. Did not wish to eat shrimps and drink gin in alehouses, so went to mass and vespers. Description of food prices. Tomorrow to Bruges. Please keep his letters, as he does not keep a journal and would like to read them on his return.
