The Steam Yacht Victoria
Monday Morning July 5, 1897 11 Oclk
The gale has blown over and we are in waters that are quite calm; in two hours we should arrive at Scudesuaes (sp?) Norway, where we take on a Pilot only and proceed at once to Troudheim, arriving there Wednesday the 7th when we are to go ashore for some eight hours and look the town over this letter will be mailed from there ~

My Own Thoughts:
This is the last letter until July 11th. I don’t know if there were gaps with missing letters lost possibly in the mail, or just not sent at all. The top few letters were in good shape, but not compared to the others. It would be highly unlikely they were destroyed over time, since everything was in one neat pile, tied together.
Cassander spends a lot of time in his letters speaking of time, date and mailing posts. I don’t know if this was a character trait, or just a “hyper” need to keep track of time.
