Transcription

Howland informs Sloane her passage was uneventful. She thinks Holland is beautiful in the summer, with very clean streets and houses. She reports that the Dutch love the King, whose health is greatly improved, and comments that the Swedish Ambassador’s lady is making the greatest appearance in The Hague. She is going to Amsterdam soon.
