Letter, July 13, 1900, from Grand Hotel, Charing Cross, Glasgow, Scotland
Dear Plummer,
I reached here safely yesterday after a twelve days trip on the ocean, two day behind time. I stood the trip finely never was sick enough to feed the fishes but one time, and the sea was unusually rough on that day. The Captain said we had the finest weather he ever saw for the trip. I would not be surprised if I did not feel different on the return.
I will leave from home on Aug. 2nd and I suppose will reach N. Y. on the 12th will remain there a few days and will probably be home by the 25th. You will get a letter however when I arrive in N. Y. I do hope Josie is well by this time. I am so afraid I won’t hear from you all while I am abroad. Will go to Edinboro to-day. I don’t know whether that is spelled right or not. I will tell you of the sights when I return it take up too much time and space to tell it on paper. Tell Florence Lea and Julian I will make their eyes grow as big as moons when I tell them of the many strange sights I saw whilst in the Orient. Dan Garnett makes fun for the crowd, he is a perfect monkey. Our Party have all been well since we left and are enjoying themselves finely. They certainly have the most picturesque scenery in the world in this country.
It is quite cool here. We wear our heavy clothing and sleep under blankets. They feed us well and we are doing finely. I do hope Ben is all right, and that they are all getting along nicely. This is a very large place. It has 700,000 inhabitants and the Buildings are very handsome, and beautifully carved. They have lovely parks. Well the call is for me to hurry up, so I must stop. Love to all and tell them they must not forget. Mother
