Visited Knightsbridge. Weather still fine.

W. Bushly arrived this evening.

Tuesday 17th Wrote home. Went to the Burlington Arcade this morning, I believe it is not proper to go there in the afternoon; as there are too many fresh(?) people.

Wednesday 18th Weather still fine. I saw a number of lovely horses this morning being exercised, how I wished I could have one of them to ride.

Thursday 19th 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.
