Evidence: | Visit to France, 1838, accompanied by Joseph Fry, friend Josiah Forster, and Lydia Irving. Letter to children, Abbeville, 28 Jan 1838: 'We left Boulogne yesterday morning in a very comfortable French carraige after some delay in our departure, from various difficulties with luggage, we enjoyed our reading and conversation, until we arrived at Montreuil ... After breakfast we read as usual, then Josiah Forster went out ... picture us - our feet on some fleeces that we have found, generally wrapped up in cloaks, surrounded by screens to keep off the air, the wood fire at our feet. We have just finished an interesting reading in French, in the New Testament, with the landlady, her daughters and some of the servants of the hotel; they appeared very attentive and much interested' |
