Montreux, _August_ 10.
Dear Father,--We didn't see the Luxembourg, as a fellow directed us to the wrong place.

We had several bathes in the Seine.

Jim got on very well with his French, and I think we are both improved.

We should be glad of some more money, as we are nearly out.

I bought a present for you in Paris, which I think you will like when you see it.
