Transcription
1 A lovely afternoon on the Cornwall coast! Not beeing smitten with an English love of inserting strong tea, bread butter & jam into a stomach, not yet recovered from its noon-day duties, we lounged on the cliff while the rest partook. The clouds had cleared, and the sea was clear pale green in the sunlight. We watched the tide rush in dashing over the rocks and gaining foot by foot. Fritz admits that he can like a rocky coast, & perhaps, someday, we shall see La Jolla — that is if the sun will shine there for us. We had quite a rough crossing yesterday from Cork to Plymouth . The boat was small, & bobbed about like a cork. Fritz looked ghastly pale about ten o’clock of the evening, so I insisted on his trying our carefully cherished seasick remedy
