In the intervals between going up to see Bill I have been looking around this little old place and general seeing the sights. It is always smoky and cloudy in this place of course and to see anything you have to get right on top of it.

I employ the bus service to get around on and last Sunday we went to the Crystal Palace and saw it from the outside only as there is nothing on there at present. It is a wonderful place built entirely of glass and covers quite a few acres.

We also saw the fine Westside homes at Wimbledon and Putney and also the old women's shopping centre at Tooting. I think I told you in my last letter that I had seen over the King's Stables so I will not repeat myself.

Bill will not now come to Paris with me as he has been advised to get out of the cities until his nose is quite healed again so intends going straight to Cornwall and let me go to Paris on my own if I am unable to find a mate to go with me. I will get there somehow even although I go alone as Bill will be quite alright down in Cornwall with his people, and I will follow down there for Xmas and perhaps New Year.

I have just had two good suits made and so I look the cat's whiskers these days and I now have sufficient clothes to last me for ages to come.

Well must close this up and pen a few lines to Mrs Treloar. Hoping you are all well and that the summer is not too hot as yet.

Love to all

Gordon
