long looked for trip to the North and
true to wy promise I ata going to tell
you as mutat about it ate 1 can. It
will be e very poor description I know
and nothing which I can say on pav-

or yet describe my feeling but ,mill I
think these lines will convey to you
the general idea of things; sus I saw
them and if that end is readied I
will be quite satisfied, I was away
for nine days and saw so much dur-
ing that limited time that I canna
hope to think of it all as I write but
with the help of a few pictures, which
I shall enclose and some notes which
I made from time to time, I think I
wilt get most of the most interest-
ing details.

night and as Russ arrived in the city

pay him
a visit ivo wont around to
call on him at the Strand Palace
Hotel. The trip was made in a taxi
and I will just mention some of the
places we passed on the way.
First came Victoria Station, ono of
the largest in England and quite an

Abbey; 'rouse of Parliament; White-
hall and No. 10 Downing street (fain
ous far being the British War Iload-
quarters) ; Trafalgar Square and'the
great Nelson monument,; caught a
a glituse of Buckingham Palace and
then drove down *he world fatuous

Rus was there to meet us alright
and we had dinner with hits in the
hotel. With all the dining' room
granduro around us Bob and I could
not help but pass some reinarloi about
sone of the feeds we had together
in Belgium, One time in particular
I had just received a fine large cake
from home also a can or cherries ,
We bought a box of shredded wheat
a loaf of bread and a canteen full of 1
milk. We then went to a field of
standing oats, found a suitable place
to sit down and proceeded to enjoy
our 'feed.'
Wo proposed going to a theatre af-
ter dinner but the conversation was
too interesting I suppose for tiro uud-
denly discovered that the hour for
going had long since passed. Con-
sequently we spent the balance of the
evening in Russ' room where wo took
