IT has been fine all the week, until to-day, when we intended to set of (sic) for HURSTBOURN-TARRANT, vulgarly called UPHUSBAND, but the rain seems as if it would stop us. From Whitchurch to within two miles of this place [Burghclere], it is the same sort of country as between Winchester and Whitchurch. High, chalk bottom, open downs or large fields, with here and there a farm-house in a dell, sheltered by lofty trees, which, to my taste, is the most pleasant situation in the world.
