Content Description

Hosmer had been vexed to discover that Gibson proposed frittering away his strength at Leghorn all summer, instead of being in the bracing air of Switzerland. She had had a delightful time at Ashridge [home of Lady Marian Alford.] She reports a conversation with [William] Boxall, and mentions that she had made a visit to Scotland. Hosmer had been to Conway that day and had tried to find Gibson's home, but without success. Her knowledge of Welsh was very useful. Hosmer was to return to America in two days.
