Abstract
A letter from Orra White Hitchcock to her children, addressed to Edward Hitchcock, Jr. She writes about the many "inconveniences and perplexities" they have experienced as a result of not knowing the languages spoken in the countries they have traveled through. She goes on to describe her and Edward Hitchcock's journey across the English Channel, through France and Belgium and into Germany. Although noting the "continual trouble & vexation & imposition & extortion" they have encountered, Orra acknowledges that the countries they have traveled through have "in general been truly delightful." She goes on to describe the cathedrals and convents they visited, and remarks on the beauty of the scenery on the Rhine. She ends with birthday wishes for her son Charlie.
