May 3rd

May 3rd As there was company in the house yesterday I only had time to get my french. This morning I walked before breakfast after which I wrote an exercise, got a grammar lesson & reading lesson in french. I read history as usual. Edward as was before mentioned went into Flanders but as he was not to be discouraged by first difficulties of an undertaking. He returned to Sluise and there he fought a naval battle (1340) and was victorious. 230 french ships were taken, 30,000 men killed & two of their admirals.

I read nanny her lesson & recreated myself untill dinner then I got geography.
