Percival Lowell
BROWN'S HOTEL
LONDON, W.
My sister arrived yesterday after a record trip for the Arabic, of 6 days 17 hours—and decided to come to this hotel where she is now. My brother and his wife are still in 34 Clarges Street, and we all dined together there last night.
Have finished my motor trip, a successful performance in spite of the usual impossible chauffeur. The prehistoric and the old Roman remains were most interesting. I am now having their presentments printed, and when done shall send you copies.
I suddenly came upon snail- shells and at once pounced on them for Prof. Morse. They lay a foot or two under the sod and although they have no connection with the mound-builders, take on a little glamour from the juxtaposition. There were three kinds of them and I have sent him all in a pill-box.
