The Steam Yacht Victoria
Tuesday Morning July 13, 1897 11 Oclk
Dear Emma, Fred, Anna and Aldana,
Yesterday was very quiet, nothing occurrring worthy of special mention, it was a cold raw day and many of the passengers remained in their rooms preferring to sleep rather than be roaming about the ship. I wrote to some of my London friends, took a nap in the afternoon and in the evening was busy with my book. We have quite a library in the dining room and it comes in good play often times one can’t be continually watching the wind and waves ~

My Own Thoughts:
Here again we see a very long, rambling sentence. Because he wrote with nib pen and ink, some of the small markings are indistinguishable from spattered ink.
