26° A COLLECTING TRIP 
London, October 16. 
Dear Mrs. Barbour: 
Tom and I have enjoyed the trip over very much 
and each day we come to the conclusion that we like 
each other better. All the relations were very kind 
to us in Ireland and I was sorry to have to leave them 
as soon as we did. One day we had glorious weather 
and so I saw what Ireland could be like. Tell Mr. 
Barbour that I was very much taken with Uncle 
James Barbour; he showed us all around his place 
and gave us a large basketfull of hothouse grapes 
to take with us. Yesterday we went to the Zoo and 
enjoyed it very much. Then we drove around Hyde 
Park and Regents Park. We passed by Buckingham 
Palace and I saw the guards walking up and down 
in front of it and I was much impressed. Tomorrow 
night we dine with Mr. James and go to the Hippo- 
drome. Every one in Ireland spoke most highly of 
Robert and said he was very pleasant and they en- 
joyed seeing him. Our next address will be Care Mr. 
Frederic Palmer, 101 Garden Reach, Caleutta, India. 
Just think in less than three weeks we will be there. 
Time certainly flies. We have just received two let- 
ters from you and were so glad to receive them. 
Affectionately, 
Rosamond.

been with us yesterday and seen the Tower of Lon-
