Went out sightseeing. Went by the underground railway to the Mansion House station where we got out and went into the city. Joseph Bushby is with us. Saw the Bank of England, Cornhill, Barrands, the monument, the Exchange & St. Pauls. We climbed to the whispering gallery & to the cupola. We also went down to the crypt where we saw Wellington's funeral car and tomb, also Nelson's tomb. Sightseeing is so very tiring. | Went out sightseeing.
