- Description
- Postcard to Rev. R.B. Layton, San Fernando, Trinidad, British West Indies, by 25-year-old Agnes Mary Kitchen from Glasgow, Scotland.
- Notes
- The University of Glasgow is the fourth oldest university in the English-speaking world, dating from 1451. In 1870 it moved from High Street, due to overcrowding and squalor of the city and the expanding factories and railways, to its current west end location at Gilmorehill, then a greenfield site enclosed by a large loop of the River Kelvin.

Glasgow, Aug. 10/10
I don't quite agree with you that Glasgow is the darkest, dirtiest, busiest place I ever [saw]. It certainly is dark & busy but it can't touch Naples for dirt. This certainly is a magnificient building, possibly you recognize it. Eight more days before we sail.
