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
