May 15th
May 15th Although I have not written my journal for the
last week I have attended to my french regularly and a part
of the time history. This morning I rose a little after the
sun and took a ride on horseback. Then I got a french
grammar lesson. After breakfast I wrote an exercise, read in
the recuel, I read my usual number of pages in history.
After the Naval battle of Sluise The English and French
agreed on a truce of two or three years after which the war
broke out again with new vigour in the beginning the English
were almost constantly victorious. The besieged and took
many cities one of which was Calais. I heard Charles a
lesson & worked until dinner after which I got
geography.
