In Dubiin I forgot to write you that Rosamond 
got a lovely pair of silver muffineers with the money 
that Aunt Lizzie gave her. Tomorrow evening we 
dine with Mr. James and then go to the Hippodrome. 
This afternoon I took Rosamond to a service in West- 
minster Abbey and afterwards she had a very good 
look about the old building. From there I went

They have a very nice club house, with splendid li- 
braries, smoking rooms, ete. Tomorrow Rosamond is 
going sightseeing to the galleries and I shall take 
lunch with Mr. Seott Keltie at the Royal Societies 
Club and afterwards go to the British Museum to 
look over some bird skins with Dr. Sharpe, the senior 
ornithologist there. Tomorrow Rosamond and I shall 
go to the Zco again, this time by appointment to 
meet the director and we shall see sights with him. 
On Thursday we intended to go to Cambridge, but 
as Dr. Hadden, whom we were going to see, has gone 
to Boston to lecture, we shall not go down there. I 
have found out many things, which I wanted to 
know, at the Royal Geographical Society. I tell you 
it was well worth being a fellow.
