Agnes had a tumble at dinner, it caused much amusement, feel so very very tired & homesick, they are all so kind to me. Oh! dear when will I be able to go home again. We start for London tomorrow.

Monday 9th. Started for our journey end this morning, we dropped darling Mary at Rugby & gave her in charge to her uncle, who was waiting for her. I am very sorry she has gone. but I hope soon to see the dear girls. The English trains are not so comfortable as those in the United States. These are such nasty stuffy things.
