written Dec. ii while he was still in
England, in which he writes some en-
tirely new experiences and tells of
English society, into which he has
broken as a guest of General and
Lady Portal, who invited the Rhodes
scholars to be their guests at their
country place. His letter, which is
much different from the several 9TH
ers printed during his first year at
Oxford, follows:
Southington, Overton, Basing-
stroeke, England. Dec. 11th, 1921.
Dear Father: Say, you should
see your son now. Talk about your
society and English bloods, Mock and
/ have stepped into it right up to our
necks.
You remember, I told you of the
invitations extended to the Rhodes
scholars by the English Speaking I'm
ion. Well, Mock and decided to ac-
cept one of these invitations and
through Lady Reiter, of London, we
were invited to Southington.
You really can't imagine what a
wonderful thing we have fallen into.
Yes, here we are with General and
Lady Portal in their beautiful coun-
try estate two miles from Basing-
stroke and near the little village
which the General practically owns.
The General has followed the army
since boyhood and was real full
fiedged general during the war. He
is the son of a lord and he and his
brother, who is his ne!ghbor, own a
small little country estate of some
fourteen thousand acres.
We arrived at the station here yes
terday and looked around for our di-
rections. Some fellow came up and
addressed us, General Portals
guests, sir you bet,'' said we,
hopping into the waiting car and
bounding off to Southington.
The General Peach.
Now you talk about your English
country gentleman life. Oh, boy!
they know how to live. The General
is a peach. He is a regular fellow.
All of yesterday and today, we have
scarcely left him for an hour and we
seem to be getting more fond of each
other all the time. He is a sensible,
refined, genteel type of English gen
tleman that forms the backbone OF
this great empire, having fought al
over India; also during the Boer wal
and against Germany.
Lady Portal is the daughter of q
lord and a refined, educated, mother
