Went with Joseph
Ratcliff to Pontlably and procured good lodgings for Him supposing the Eruption
(which came out last night) to be Small Pox—we were treated with great respect
as we were Americans, were waited on near half a mile to the Boat and on
parting gave them 3 Cheers which was answered with vive Le Congres.
