In the first view one gets of [[Warsaw]]
it seems situated on flat ground, but on
a nearer approach one finds it standing
on an elevated bank of the [[Vistula]]
which is here a fine river + the
town lies pleasantly though without
anything striking in its situation,
it overlooks an immense stretch of
the flat country through which we had
been passing - There are a sufficient
number of its old buildings remaining
to give it a respectable appearance as a
town not of yesterday.

In driving through [[Poland]] I found
myself quite infected with a revolutionary
spirit ; I saw every where the marks of
Russian dominion in the double im=
perial eagle, + the national colours on the verst posts +,+, with somewhat of
a Polish feeling ; {crossed out word} on [coilny?]
to a house which appeared a nic ecountry
seat, we were admiring so cheering a
sight here seldom seen, but when we came
up to it _ alas whatever it had been , 2 Russian
centry boxes at the door betrayed that
it served another purpose now.

We settled ourselves in the [[Wilna
Hotel]] at [[Warsaw]], an old established
first rate hotel, but now like everything
else, having a little the appearance of decay
though we still found it comfortable. The
Landlady a quiet respectable looking
woman met us at the door on our arrival
