    Description: Dear Jerry

    The Park Keeper has sent twice to let me know

    that the best venison will be soon gone. As this is about

    the time when you expected M rs. Brickenden's return I

    suppose I may send the venison next week, but I wish

    to hear from you first.

    I hope you had an agreable journey after you left

    Whitchurch. M rs. Grove was confined to her bed some days

    & has been very ill but is now pretty well recovered, tho'

    uneasy that her illness should occasion an alteration in

    your journey & prevent your return by this road as she was

    in hopes of your Company for some days stay with us. When

    it suits you to make another Excursion this way, we shall be

    very glad to see you & will make the place as agreable to you

    as we can, but I apprehend you will be now agreably engagd

    at present & heartily wish you success in your present

    pursuit. M rs. Grove & my Daughter desire me to present

    their Compliments to you.

    I am Dear Jerry

    your most affectionate Uncle

    Description: Caen in Normandy July 27 th 1775 Dear Jere, To one, who, I am to hope & who I imagine, is engaged in the Depths of Study for your own advantage & your Country's Good, this Country can produce nothing worthy of your Interruption, unless the knowledge of our being safely arriv'd here & agreably situated be considered as such; a Passage of Seven hours brought us over from Dover to Calais, which we all of us weather'd surprisingly well, except your Mother who it may be said paid for all in the sacrifice she made to the Sea by Sickness — Farr was a little sick but scarce worth mentioning I & your two other Brothers were not at all — as you have been yourself the same road y t we have done except from Abbeville to Dieppe it is of little use to give you any account the distance between those two places is what chiefly added to our Journey & in what we co d have wished to avoid if possible — when we got to Rouen, we were so charmed with it, yt we co d not help regretting, we were not got to the end of our Journey & had any further to go, we passed one whole Day there & left it with some reluctance — and on Sunday the 2 d Instant arrived here in one Day, w ch is near ninety miles & during our whole Journey, by Land we found our Coach of the greatest use to us, in point of convenience as well as in regard to y r expence it saved me; & to my great surprise as well as satisfaction it escaped the business of being shipped at Dover & relanded at Calais & thro' the rough roads hither almost to a Miracle — & its now lies very safe & quiet in a Coach house near us, being determined not to use it till our return, as what I shall save it keeping Horses, & having a Coachman will contribute something against the amount of Extra Expences of the

    excursion hither — I & your Mother with our Two servants ( & his Wife) have a very convenient

    separate appartment, in a good House belonging to a young Gentleman & his Wife, very agreeable & conversible

    Persons, where we keep House, by ourselves, & are in every respect of

    that sort as much at home, as if in Queen's Square Place, the

    situation of our House is as it were in the Suburbs, & has a pretty

    garden behind it, at the end of w ch there is a brow that opens

    the Fields, which you may imagine your Mother & I make good use of by our frequent Walks. Farr boards in the Town, with

    a Mons r & Madame Dagainey the Father & Mother of the Lady of our House — your Brother is chez Mons r Le Hardy, who with his wife, are very agreeable People & Charges board at a third place a Monsieur Maipant, Professeur de Rhetoric, a most ingenious & agreeable man, who tho' a Catholic by profession is a man of very liberal sentiments, & has an excellent Library, consisting of the best of our English Authors, as well as French & the best Editions of Each
