August Tuesday 23 1904

Weather pretty good for London. - cool.

Went to Cambridge to see Dr. Keltie Sec'y.? of The Royal
Geographical Soc'y.? who was there attending the meeting of
The British Association for the advancement of science.
Took lunch at The "University Arms" and then loooked up Dr
Keltie who was attending a meeting of the Geographical Soc'y.?
in a hall. His Sec'y.? Mr. Reeves came out to see me and said
it was unfortunate that it had come at this time as the Royal G. Soc'y?
in London was closed for 3 weeks as usual in August & that he &
Dr. Keltie were busy entertaining the scientists from all parts of
the world in Cambridge. That I could practically get at the
British Museum all the maps of the country etc. etc.

Took a guide and went sight-seeing while waiting for return
train. Beautiful place, very different from what I had
imagined. Went in Immanuel, Kings, Trinity, St. John's
colleges. Much impressed with Kings College Chapel. Finest
of its kind I had ever seen. Stained glass window and
wonderful fan vaulting in ceiling - grounds also very fine.
Took train home. Dinner with B. Bed after
spending entire evening packing.
