1 Carlisle: On the way to Edinburgh August 14th: In sheer desperation I take advantage of a wait between trains to start my long delayed letter, with little hopes of being able to finish within reasonable time. If you have scanned the program recently sent, you will see that breakfasts at a certain hour, lunch, tea, dinner, “arriving,” “changing” & “departing” occupy all our waking hours & we are too tired & sleepy at night to do more than tumble in. It has been an extremely delightful trip, nevertheless, and if we could only look forward to a long sea-journey, for a rest, could actually do so with pleasure. We realize now the function of the slow boat. Just at present, we are travelling ahead of the great strike which has now reached Manchester . It has also penetrated to Glasgow , which is perilously near Edinburgh . If we are to be tied up. I hope it will be where we are comfortably located. However, I must return to past history & touch the high points at least, before they fade into
