796 FINAL JOURNEYS AND WORK. [1887, 



at Berlin ; a botanic garden man and good teacher. 

 Weisner's physiological laboratory I had an hour or 

 two in, and saw all his gimcracks ; some nice ones. 

 Saturday evening we went by rail to Salzburg (at day- 

 dawn) ; Munich at sunrise, not stopping ; on to Ulm 

 soon after ten A. M. Bad weather kept Mrs. Gray 

 indoors all day Sunday, though I ran about. Monday 

 morning she had with me a good look over Ulm min- 

 ster, inside and out; the upper part of the spire is 

 rebuilding, and is to be carried up with the true taper, 

 according to the original plan. That sight -seeing 

 done, we came yesterday to, and across, the Lake Con- 

 stance, to Zurich, for late afternoon and evening, and 

 on to Geneva overnight. 



I passed an hour this morning with De Candolle, 

 aged, but fairly cheerful, and he begged me to 

 breakfast with him to-morrow. Miiller Argoviensis 

 was not at his post. 



What a season you have had, and what a fiasco 

 Normandy would have been, as you say. Why, the 

 apple blossoms are only now out here. We did have 

 comfortable, warm and dry weather at Vienna, and 

 the Belvidere gallery is most enjoyable. Berlin we 

 don't in the least care for ; but our faces are rather 

 set for Amsterdam, Antwerp, etc. If you have a call 

 to write me soon after getting this, for a day or two 

 you might venture Amsterdam, poste restante; but 

 later the old address, to Hotel St. Remain, Rue San 

 Roque, would be the thing until further notice ; add 

 "To be kept till caUed for." 



I doubt if we shall be back in England before the 

 17th or 18th, and then Mrs. Gray will have to join 

 her luggage, left somewhere in the neighborhood of 

 Charing Cross, where it now reposes, and we shall 

 have to hasten down to Cambridge. . . .
