One thing has recently calmed my anxiety: I have written tolerably comprehensive instructions for the performance of "Tannhauser", and have had them printed as a pamphlet and sent a sufficient number of copies to the theatres which had bought the score. I hope this will be of use. I send you herewith half-a-dozen copies.
The house and the prisoner were left in the hands of Matthew, Father Jordan, and Perrote. Norman Hylton accompanied his master. Lady Foljambe's mind had grown tolerably easy on the subject of Ivo, and she only gave Perrote a long lecture, warning her, among other things, never to leave the door unlocked nor the prisoner alone.
Before the first snow which was, I remember, on November 20 our little forest colony was comfortably established, and a score of big trees laid stretched in the leaves. In our company were many fine, intelligent young men all taught somewhat, some tolerably well educated. None had been to college. I little thought at that time of becoming a scholar and a clergyman.

In the vicinity of the water the grass was tolerably good, but the declivities upon which it principally grew, were steep and very stony. Having hobbled the horses, I took my gun, and walked down the watercourse, to a place where it forms a junction with a larger one, but in neither could I find any more water.
