September 26, 1912

Mrs. Hirst took care of baby

while Annie, Catherine, Ben, Frank

and I went to see "The Tower of

London." It was quite a ways out

and took all the afternoon. It's

such a mssive well preserved
 building. We went in over the steps

under which trhe bodies of the Little

Princes were buried and climbed
 stairs until I thought my legs 

would drop off. Saw all kinds of

old Armor, Swords, bayonets and

weapons of all descriptions. Saw a

room the walls of which were decor-
ated with carving done by prisoners.
The block on which people were
beheaded, where the scaffold stood
and the chapel used in William
the Conqueror's time. Last but not
least we saw the Crown Jewels. They
are very wonderful and well worth
seeing. When we came out of the
Tower we waited and saw them
changing the guard. Went through
quite a little ceremony over it.
