Outlines the probable itinerary of his trip back to Paris; describes the canal and his means of travel, particularly its tranquility; extolls the virtues of the nightingale, especially its song; compares nightingales to poets and claims a "poet is as much the creature of climate"; urges Short to take a similar trip; sends instructions for servants to plant corn and to procure via Jean Francois Frouille the book le Recueil alphabetique des droits de traites uniformes. |
