My dear Sister
After a weeks stay at the Hague a most beautiful town I am just arrivd here conveyd by a Track Skoet [Transcriber's Note: Trekschuit is an old style of sail- and horse-drawn boat used in Dutch canals] a most easy cheap & pleasant conveyance which has determind me to follow your advise & keep a Journal for as in that we have a Cabbin & tables I can employ all the time we are traveling a saving of time which realy ought to be esteemd as a great benefit & must be so by those who can employ themselves.
I have passed through Harlem & Leyden at the first I saw the Organ above 4 times as large as any we have in England the musick of it is I confess most striking it fills the great church there as compleatly as a chamber organ
