tug came to meet us, and after an hour and a half's sailing we reached the dock.  The Potters were on board with us, and so I had Alonzo's company again.  
From the dock we went to the Hotel Adelphie where we had a very nice dinner. (Everything tastes so nice after the steamer.)  We stayed in the hotel until a quarter to nine, and then went to the train, for although it did not start until 11 o'clock, Papa had arranged that we were to have a special car and so we could go right to bed and wake up the next morning in London.  We carried out this plan successfully.

May 18th. 1890 Sunday

We left the car this morning at half past seven, and drove directly to the Bristol, where our rooms were all ready for us.  I have one on the front by Alfred and Regi.
Mama, Fraulein and myself walked to Curz^[[insertion]] e [[/insertion]]on Chapel
this morning, and as we got there early we had no trouble at all in getting seats.
I am already delighted that we are not going to stay here long.  If we were I don't know what I should do.  I do dislike London so very much.
The boys went for a walk with Fraulein and myself

Transcription Notes:
Regi is Reginald Claypoole Vanderbilt (future father of Gloria Vanderbilt) Curzon Chapel was in London until 1894
