Yesterday we arrived at Ostend, it was not at all rough crossing, I was not a bit sick; it is a very funny country and there are some very funny people, yesterday I saw in the market place a great carriage with three horses and some people dressed in very funny costumes, playing a band on the top and a woman dressed like a Princess in older days and she drives about the market place like this every day and she makes a speech to the crowd and takes one of them and pulls out some of his teeth. Dear Eddy is better I am glad to say, but I am afraid to say it will be some time before he is well again. With very much love ...", 3 sides 8vo., Royal Yacht Osborne headed paper, 15th August 1877, together with an original photograph of Dalton by E. H.
