Transcription
8 were able to view the Cathedral from the depot & stand within for a few minute’s impression. It is a wonderfully beautiful thing — overshadowing anything of the kind yet seen. Julie & Emma would love it. But before they see it, I am going to put in an application for Mother’s pictures of it — please ! Our train came in late & reached the Hook of Holland very late. The channel steamer was waiting, however & we were able to get to bed about one o’clock. We han an inside room & oh, it was warm! We were wakened at six, so sleepy & hurried of ​ the boat to go through the customs. This was the usual farce of being asked if you had anything dutiable & of saying “no.” Saves a lot of time. I have always heard such tales of a Channel crossing that I was quite prepared to be sick, but either we are good sailors, or were fortunate in a quiet e sea, for we noticed no motion at all. (To be continued at Cambridge)
