Went last night to see His Majesty's Theatre, where I saw
a very fine production of Henry VIII. The Henry, Catherine,
and Wolsey were all good.

Bought an overcoat and some other things and left
Euston Station at noon for Liverpool, our train being a
Cunard Special for passengers due to sail on the Franconia at
5 p. m.

This is the first trip the Franconia has ever
made and will probably be her only run to New York as she
goes on the Boston line later. She is a fine ship of 18,000

After a stormy winter voyage reached New York
much delayed March 6, 1911, and reached Raleigh next day,
(March 7th) completing this TRIP AROUND THE WORLD.
