dearest - I got in quite easily there was nothing in the world to be afraid of.
It was the most gorgeous scene. You should have been there to see the lovely
dresses & the diamonds & the gorgeous uniforms of all countries . I shall
remember it for ever. I made friends with the lady on my right & she chatted to
me all the time. Needless to say the acting was the best possible to have &
dear Forbes it was nice to see & hear him again. the S.P. was beautiful &
I have never heard any one in any theatre get such a reception as Sir Percy got.
they cheered him for several minutes - They kept us in so long after it was over

My Dear Mother
I pen you these few lines just to let you know that my Son Jim is leaving India
tomorrow for a visit to Scotland and that he will probably call on you sometime
about the 20th of april his object in coming home is to look for some other
employment where he may be able to better himself. I do not think he will remain
long in Edinburgh though I have also to tell you that Hannah is also coming home
on a visit she is leaving Calcutta on the 14th 2 days after Jim, but they will
meet together again in London as their two different ships will arrive there one
1 Day after the other from whence they will travel together to Edinburgh
probably arriving by steamer at Leith but I cannot say on what day as Jim wants
to have a day or two
(page 2)
to look around London in his mothers Company and also to pay some visits to
people he has been requested to visit by his friends out here. Hannah will in
all probability write to you from London telling you what day she will arrive in
Edinburgh. I am not coming this year as my other son Willie has not yet finished
his education but as soon as he has I am coming home. We are all well out here
at present and hope that this will find you all also enjoying good health. The
weather out here is getting very warm again and as Hannah has to go to the hills
every year as the heat of the plains of India is too much for her I am letting
her have this little trip home this year instead. So do not grumble at her for
not bringing me with her, as it is my wish that she should go without me this
time, next time we will probably come together. The name of Hannah's Steamer is
the City of London" of the City Line. The Name of Jims Steamer is the "Otranto"
of the Orient Line.
I Remain your
Affectionate & Loving
Son

Posted on 20th May 1922 in Siena : sent to Dr Clay R Bowen Theological
School, Meadville, Pennsylvania, USA
Siena - May 19. '22
Dear Clayton,
I celebrate my last evening here by a niggardly card to you written at my
favorite hour in my favorite spot, watching the sunset effects on city and
mountains from the high bastion of the old fort. I confess that I have been here
a week, resting after strenuous and interesting weeks in Rome and Florence.
Tomorrow Pisa. The next night at Alassio. Then Marseilles and Avignon. Of course
it is not as beautiful as Meadville but it is different and serves as a change
If I stay longer in Italy, I shall vociferate in conversation and burst into
song in the streets. In Rome as the Romans! Vida Scudder's "Disciple of a
Saint" is the best things about Siena. barring a line from Pres. Southworth I
have yet heard nothing from Meadville or Lovell. My mail is at Avignon. I trust.
Love to everybody. I think of Hunnewell Hall, the Chapel and my class room and
everybody all the time. I have bought a lovely drapery which I hope will suit
the Table in the Chapel. Warm regards to Mrs. Sinnetts.
I prefer modern times to the Middle Ages, and I shall enjoy being
back in America - in spite of the pleasures here. Yours Ever.
