Mons[ieu]r Vogel, Dr Berkeley & Mr O’Byrne dined drank tea & supped with us, Dr B. was drunk. Vogel a most extraordinary wonderful man, he played most exquisitely on the German Flute, better than any man I ever heard, & what was wonderful he play’d a Duet, making the Flute give two Sounds. He s[ai]d he was in the Legion de Chartres, he has received 16 Wounds, the strongest & most active man almost I ever saw; he performed several Treats & Tricks vastly well informed & has read a great deal.
