Bruxelles.
You will perceive by the above address that we are again in Belgium. We arrived here last evening having crossed over from Dover to Calais on Wednesday at midnight. St. Roche[1] did not take as much care of me as I expected, and in my p2misery I almost determined that this should be the last time I would leave England.
Our kind friends here, M. & Mme Flanneau, asked us to come and pay them a visit, which we are most glad to do, and on this occasion we came direct to Brussels because they are very soon going into p3the country. Nothing can exceed their kindness to us! After spending a few days with them, we are going to Bruges for a fortnight, and shall be at the house of good M. Vanhaecke, who has kindly offered us the use of his rooms. I am very sorry you are not at Bruges now, I shall miss you very p4much. My newly converted sister-in-law accompanied us as far as Dover, and proceeded by the Ostend boat. She is going to stay at Bruges for several weeks. She has a cousin at the English Convent, (Sister Mary Clare)[2] who has engaged apartments for her near the Jerusalem Church, in some Convent or boarding house, the Spermalie,[3] or some such name, I think.
Mr. Buckler desires his kind *p1regards to you, and I hope we may meet you during our stay in Belgium.
