We stayed at Lucerne and Interlaken a week each. We have been here a week and find the place very interesting; so much to see and not time enough every day. / We are going to a grey London today and looking forward to a great time there. / So, the sad news about Mr Price; was afraid that was going thus in life, but still find it hard to believe that he has gone. / I see too the changing in the government, but nothing further as there is not much news as you know, in the papers from England that this far. / We have had a few wet days but not to trouble us. Most of the weather has been like an Adelaide spring day. / What do you think of us as Messengers? / Kind regards from both.
