Letter from Eleanor Anne Porden to Henry Elliott, back in London after her travels to the Continent She considers a letter from Waterloo as rather a debt to him, after all the trouble taken by him on her foolish poem, but now it is brought home, she fears he might scarcely think it worth reading. Comparison of carriages at Brussels, said to have belonged to Buonaparte, mentioning M. Van Kamper Noten and Bullock (the latter said by locals to have been that of his secretary); they are not sorry to be back home again, with her being disappointed in the beauty of the country in the Netherlands and France in comparison with England, with its churches being the equal of those on the continent. Mama's health is indifferent, and the author fears that she will not be opening the [Attic] Chest that season; there is no reason why he should not be prepared for it, and ample material will be supplied by his own contintental adventures as much as theirs. [Sent with letter written at Mont St. Jean Waterloo, i.e. on 16 Oct 1816] 11 Nov 1816
