Mrs. (0r.) -Moore writes
Mrs. A. Hunter, Brussels
DEAR MOTHER.—Since writing you
last I have visited many places of in-
terest. I wish you were here to go
round with us as you would enjoy 1t.
[ have so much to tell you I scarcely
know svbers to commence. Hope you
are not losing any sleep worrying
about us. Please do not for we are
bath enjoying the best of health and
e air splendid and I o o
the sea iss d c hope
benefit by it. We are boarding at a
Temperance House but every table
except ours and one other have their
bottles of soda water and other drinks
which they send out for, Several of
the visitors are leaving this week and
we will miss them very much. Our
family circle will be broken and we
will have to make new friends. A
great many come down from London
for the week end, I must tell you
about our visit to Shnrnolife, Folk-
stone, Sandgate, Hythe turd Dover.
The country from here to Dover is
beautiful. The scenery the finest in
England, with its hills, hop fields,
grazing land, quaint little villages. old
ruins, etc., one living picture after
another. We are seeing England at
its best. We try to forget all the sad-
ness for awhile. Shorncliffe and
Folkstone are both fine towns also
Sandgate. Those are the Oanad:en
military towns but strange to say I
only met one whom I knew, George
Jewitt, who was looking very well.
Have met quite a number of Cana-
dians but as yet have not been able to
locate Olitr Armstrong's brother so I
still have the parcel for him.
Visited an old church in Hyih, also
the crypt containing skulls and bones
representing 4,000 people picked u
from the old battlefields round
Hastings. It was a gruesome sight
and I was glad to get out of the
gloomy old place. I have sent
Myrtle a card which will give you a
good idea of it, We walked round
the town and saw the canal dug by
Ceases in the 1st century which was
all very interesting. Then went to
Dover in a char -bane, which is a lar
motor boat car and holds from 20 to
people. No one is allowed to enter or
leave Dover without a passport. We
have often heard of the cliffs of
Dover but to see them is a grand sight
between 400 and 600 feet high, all
fortified and a fine old rastle on the
top. We saw many ships large and
small, in the harbor also saw a num-
ber of aeroplanes and the sheds where
they are made and repaired. Dover is
a smoky old place very interesting
but I prefer living in Hastings at the
present time. On our return trip we
stopped to see where a landslide oc-
curred recently. You will scarcely
credit this but itis true and we saw
it. A house was taken down with it
and was standing just as it had beau
with not an article disturbed in it and
the occupants did not realize what
had happened until they looked out
next morning. Just fancy taking a
slide of 600 feet. It looked like a toy
house from where we were standing
and the garden was not disturbed, it
was really a wonderful sight. Where
we were standing there were wide
openings in the ground and the rail.
road was covered with earth ninny
feet deep.
I am also sending you a card which
will give you an idea of the caves
underneath the castle hill here,
They are most wonderful rind were
used by smugglers many centuries
ago. The origin of the caves and pre-
cise date of their primeval construc-
tion are at present involved in much
obscurity and are regarded as one of
the most remarkable curiosities to be
seen for many miles round in this
beautiful locality. I shall tell you
more about them when I return home.
Last week we visited Winchelsea
and Rye, two of the quaintest towns
we have seen, both at one time were
seaports but now they are many miles
from the sea. In those days the sea
covered the ground over which we
drove. We passed °umber Castle
(one of Henry 8tbs many Castles)
which was under water for 40 years.
Sea must have covered it many years
aftov it was built and: then receded.
Ventinbo a very old.ehurch in Win-
chelsea also the oldest ::own hall to
that locality. A tall person would
have to stoop to enter. In the
churchyard we saw tombstones over
200 years old. After spending a short
time there we went on to Rye through
the beautiful country with its wind-
ing roads, hedged on either side
through quaint villages where old
houses with thatched roofs and small
windows predominated, very picture-
sque but I prefer modern roofs. The
old Rye church was built in the year
1120. Were shown cannon ball which
were found imbedded in the walls in
1448 at the time of the Freneh inva-
sion.; The chancel table of carved
mahogany was donated by Queen
Elizabeth, They also have two old
carved chairs of Charles lst. Yon
may rest aseneed I sat in them, Then
we climbed the narrow winding stairs
to the botver, some passages of which
were so narrow that Jim could scarce-
ly squeeze through. I thought I
would have to call for helpbu
managed without and clibed �sthe
steep steps so steep that we had to
hold on to a rope, Then we Were
among tate bells and chimes, such
quaint old hells I wish you could see
it all, Had tea in the oldest house in
Rye, I have some post cards which
you will see. My cleat to Battle Abby
I shall write about later on, Weare

The Dr, spends a good part of his time
at the hospitals and I occasionally go

this so 1'11 tell you more about our
visits to another letter, Remember

Take good care of yourself. I'll write

Mg you it will be the fault of the

loved ones. If any of you are ill, send
me word ab once. After posting this

The weather is bright but very cool,
I will close now with best love to you
