are preserved by the nobility for the grand sport of hunting destroyed the industry. That is the main reason for these vast preserves which could be made into agricultural ly or dairy-districts. The nobles must have their grouses & foxes & pheasants kept for shooting! “Me for American!” I saw such a cunning little boy this morning at Callander , dressed in kilts & Scotch cap, just as Mother used to dress Murray- Yesterday, we drove thru’ the “Lady of the Lake” country, over the very path the chieftain’s took & gazed as well upon Ellen’s Isle. I wish every minute that I knew more history & literature & geology. We have had beautiful weather & everyone has kept well & good-natured. I believe d I have not yet introduced you to the members of the “International Phytogeographical Excursion” & will do so at once. As it turns out, there is one other woman in the party. Mrs. Cowles of Chicago. The committee finally decided to invite me, because they had invited me. None of the other wives were asked, tho’ some wished very much to come.
