Isabella Murray describes her and her husband’s stay in Bordeaux (pages 18-38), and the visit they made from there to the Château La Brède, the home of Montesquieu (pages 21-30). Their journey from Bordeaux to Pau and their stay for a year in a country house there is fully described. There is a gap in the diary between their leaving Pau and their arrival at Tours in 1836; and it finally breaks off during their stay there.
