I don't think you'll get many cards front me while in England, they cost 'too much, 4c and 6c etuch (then a Ie stamp). Yon see 6c a card is too much. I'm going for a trip 'to IParis next week to see the sights. I've been so interested in the sights and everything that '1 had 'little time to write.:1 get 'plenty of sleep, Phis hotel '(The imperial) is -,good, and 'also 'big' (1,000 rooms), I had to pay rather high price for the three Coronation clays. I had no trouble in finding a room when I ,got to Lone' don. One of the boys I met on the boat recommended this one and 1 went here by taxi as soon as :I got off the train from Liverpool. I didn't stay in Liverpool :because I was too anxious to get to London. We haven't had a sunny day here yet.eThe days are all cloudy and foggy. The crowds here are not bad.
