| Transcript | box00007_fld00022_bdl0043_doc0001_02000001.txt; July 10, 1913 Mr. Andrew Carnegie Skibo Castle Dornoch, Sutherland, Scotland My Dear Mr. Carnegie. Ws are just arranging for a little trip abroad � Mrs. Church and I, with our two children, Reginald and Katharine. We sail on Saturday, July 19th on the Imperator, and start home from Southampton August 13th, on the Olympic. We have desired for quite a little while to take our children across the water and let them obtain a glympse of some of the notable things about about which they have begun to read in their histories, and this trip promises to give us all a most profitable and interesting vacation. We shall have about eighteen days in the Old World and they will be divided up roughly by six days in France, six days In Switzerland, and six days in England. We shall go tirst to Paris, arriving there July 25th and stopping at the Hotel L'Athenee, Rue Scribe; after three or four days in Paris we shall go to Interlaken and Geneva, then back to Paris and from there to London. From London we are going to look over the big historic things like the Tower, Westminster Abbey, Windsor Castle, Stratford, and Oxford University. While Mrs, Church and I have been over this route pretty well in the past, we are going to revisit these places on account of the children. We shall not go into Scotland because there are too many of us. I know you would like to ask us to come but we will put Scotland down for another voyage. I have been reading with the greatest possible pleasure the accounts of your tour on the Continent. You must have had a fine time and I should be very glad to hear the inside story when we meet each other next winter. Always sincerely yours, |
