Content Description

He has found this trip physically gruelling but his mind is hale; the King and the Dauphin have been very gracious; he commiserates with her over the death of a friend; he will write to Mr. Balmanno, who has assured him his servants are fine; business of state will prevent the King from sitting to him too often, but this will not harm the pictures; he thinks it will be hard to secure good painting accommodation; he thinks the Dauphine noble if not handsome; Herman is well.
