It was so smoky I could hardly see any of it. The rivers are small here and nature seems to have made them harmonize with the smallness of the country. On my first visit to London I called the Thames river a creek and nearly had my ears cuffed. The pool of London we hear so much about is just a little pond filled with all sorts of ships. England is steeped in tradition, and the English are very proud of their past. London is a vast city--really a whole lot of towns joined into one. The roads are forced to twist and wind all over the place so as to make room for the houses. Devon is the prettiest part of all England. Hants is pretty too, There are many huge estates down there, and it seems strangely peaceful -in spite of all the war, Cligerjo friends, and" thanks again for .your thoughtful greetings.
