VOLTAIRE'S DRIVE THITHER.

Schloss Moyland: How far from Brussels, and by what route?
By Louvain, Tillemont, Tongres to Maestricht; then from Maestricht up the Maas (left bank) to Venlo, where cross; through Geldern and Goch to Cleve: between the Maas and Rhine this last portion.
Flat damp country; tolerably under tillage; original constituents bog and sand.

Distances I guess to be: To Tongres 60 miles and odd; to Maestricht 12 or 15, from Maestricht 75; in all 150 miles English.

Two days' driving?
There is equinoctial moon, and still above twelve hours of sunlight for "M.

le Comte." No.3.OF THE PLACE WHERE.
