Honble Sir
I received your note the other day saying that you should wish to go as far as Ischel which might be reached in no time at all by a very interesting Road via rail and the Danube from Donanevoerth to Limze from Linze by rail to Lambach from Lambach by a Carriage to the Traunfall, there to Gununden cross the lake to Ebensee and Ischel this is a very Picturesque road and from Ischel many little excursions can be made from Ischel to Salzburg by Gossan, Atetnau is a very Hilly and sometimes disagreeable road but is the most interesting. I have tkaen the liberty of enclosing a card in case Mrs Talbot has not yet suited with rooms at Cook's Hotel, this ia a private Family Hotel with very good rooms but there is no cafe room, I should be glad if I could be of any use in looking out for rooms in time the Hotels getting very full.
I remain Honble Sir your very obedient & faithful servant
