Autograph letter signed : Ship Hotel, Dover, to her father, 1848 June 18.

Noting that she writes on the anniversary of his marriage because tomorrow she and John go to Dealad [Walmer?]. Mr. Ruskin is much amused by the Prussians and Danes, who, reaching the harbour, proclaim their enmity before a notary and then draw their ships together, to smoke and enjoy each other's company while here. She and John are enjoying themselves--the beach and breaking waves, a good sermon at church, a walk beneath the towering cliffs: John attempted unsuccessfully to wade, his feet being too tender and the stones too sharp; having walked a long way in the burning sun, they took half an hour to climb a shaft, gathering wild flowers, to find, to their dismay, that they were three miles by the high road from Dover, which they reached an hour late for dinner. The day was so clear that they could see Calais distinctly through the telescope. John, on seeing it, was very sorry not to get abroad, but in the present state of Spanish affairs, "Mr. Ruskin could not possibly go just now." They are out most of the day, and for the rest they study, as they did in London. Mr. Newton said that he would come for a week--the date uncertain.
