The Commerce of the town of Aix la Chapelle [[Aachen]] is not so [florishing?]
as during the time the French excluded English goods from the
Continent; but there are several large & excellent shops, &
every sort of goods upon sale. [[Dupaty]]'s letters on [[Italy]]
3.F. 1/2 & [[Craan]]'s battle of [[Waterloo]] 4.F. Today had been
at once the most interesting & most fagging of the whole I have
employed on the tour; For besides seeing the tour & [environs?] I have
had to devote eight hours at least to my Journals which I
have close, as my route now lays, thro' [through] [[Brussels]] for [[Paris]].
I shall visit, en passant, the field of [[Waterloo]] & St. Jean [[Mont-St-Jean]],
& state merely the names of the towns I pass on my
route, as I hope another year to have time to make a
detour of some days at [[Brussells]], & at [illegible?] of [the?]
interesting towns in [advance?] upon [[Paris]].
