The day before we reached Plymouth, England, where We landed we were met by number of torpedo boats destroyers ard then we felt perfect ly safe. There is q beautiful hsrbor there. We left there about 1 p. m. and reached London about a. m and went to Hotel CoSmo where we stayed about three days Did not like London and was glad to leave. We took the train to South Hampton and the boat to Havre and from there to Paris by train. Paris is a beautiful city. one of the most beautiful cities in the world.
