Min Reises Maal var denne Dag Doncaster, hvor jeg ankom omtrent kl. 1. Strax udenfor Byen viste [p. 248:] Man mig en Kilde, som bærer Navnet Robin Woods Well efter en berygtet Røver, Walter Scott i sin Ivanhoe skal have skildret som den lystige Eneboer.
[IRHB translation:]
The goal of my journey this day was Doncaster, whence I arrived around 1 p.m. Just outside town [p. 248:] I was shown a well that carries the name Robin Wood's Well after a notorious robber who Walter Scott is said to have portrayed as the merry hermit in his Ivanhoe.[1]Source notes
