Claude starts this afternoon to sit for six months in
Babylonic smoke, working up his sketches into certain unspeakable
pictures, with which the world will be astonished, or otherwise, at
the next Royal Academy Exhibition; while I, for whom another
fortnight of pure western air remains, am off to well-known streams,
to be in time for the autumn floods, and the shoals of fresh-run
salmon trout.
