We made rapid progress yesterday, but the fine weather of today brought a change of wind to the eastward, and deprived us of farther benefit of our sails. Still the sea was down, and we were comfortable again, so far as comfort is possible to people like myself who never get entirely used to the motion. I keep quiet and in the open air as much as possible. Mrs Adams suffers very much indeed. I read some of Lord Carlisle’s book, which does not as yet rise much above the level of the mob who write with ease.134
