I am in a very beautiful English home, very large, the garden is some four or five acres.  I wish you could see it.  The trees are magnificent, the lawns are like velvet, and the flowers are beautiful.  My room is larger than our parlor, one end a great bow with three very large windows.  In one of them a beautiful red rose is looking in on me from the vine that grows about the window.  Dr. Sturge lives here, an older brother of the Carolina Sturge with whom Miss Gay lives.  He is a very learned man, but very gentle & simple, deeply interested in Archeology, particularly early man in this region.  He has built a very large room three times the size of our parlor & it is filled with cases that contain thousand of specimen of Stone implements made by men who lived here before the glacial period, representing 10 to 50,000 years ago.  He has fine specimens for France for
