Dear Verna and Mother Smith, We are thinking of all you folks back home. The tour is most in- formative and interesting. We have come across Ireland, Scotland and down into London. We are kept busy every minute until we nearly drop in our tracks. But there is so much to do and see. A highlight today was attending church service in Westminster Abbey and visiting the tower of London. Tomorrow we go to Amsterdam. Lovingly, Hazel
