I visited the Warwich Castle & Tower & went

& is furnished with all the splender that the
art & gold of Earldom could present. The

hung with the most splendid tapestry, rooms
furnished with the richest Damask coverd chars
chairs, Tables & stands inteoverlaid with paarl
shell & precious stones some of which cost
£15,000 pounds each & would take 3 years
to make it. This castle contained a great
variety of paintings of the Kings Queens Lord

of the Jesuits. from the windows of this castle
we could look out upon the most Noble & stately
ceders of Lebenon Deah & firs and other shrubery
