  • Summary

    You must, my dear Friend, make allowances for the visit I did not pay you: for I set out last month on this wished-for pilgrimage, not with M. Moultou, who is too poor a walker, but with M. de Sauttern; but the deterrent of bad weather which delayed us several days in an inn, my weakness, and the length of the journey, made me give up on it, much as I wished for it, and we retraced our steps after a ten days’ absence which took us no farther than Estavayé. I have not given up hope of being more fortunate another time; but my travel companion has left, and I must admit to you that in my state I lack the courage to tackle alone a trip of forty leagues there, and as many back.
