1This is the picture of a little place in the woods, an old mill, & a
2little inn. Some American friends of mine drove Will & me there
3yesterday afternoon. There were hundreds of people there eating at
4little tables under the trees, & dancing to a band it was very pretty.
5I am leaving for Holland tomorrow.
