My Dear Mother

I hope you received my last letter from Avesnes, ¹ announcing our speedy arrival at Geneva; since then, we have been travelling quietly onwards, passed through Mezières, Sédan, Verdun, all places of no interest, Nancy, where they have lately erected a statue to King Stanislas in the middle of a handsome square,² in the middle of a handsome square, and Épinal, to this place: where we arrived last night after dark in a torrent of rain. The inn is excellent, and the weather being very showery, we have stopped here to rest a day. There is a pretty public walk laid out by Stanislas in former days – The town is seated in a hollow between 2 mountains, where there are natural hotsprings – Tomorrow if fine weather we resume our journey & hope to reach Geneva Saturday evening.

Your aff^te
Henry

I hope to find a letter from you at Nyon to tell me whereabouts you live. –
