| Description | This letter was written by Howard Taylor whilst he was travelling by ship. He thanks Elizabeth Taylor Cadbury for her recent letters and remaks on the weather before describing the 'extraordinary mixture of people' on board. Taylor includes an amusing anecdote about his accommodation on the ship writing 'there was some mistake over the numbers of my cabin & I found myself in with two old women'. He concludes his letter noting that the ship would reach Gibraltar the following day where he planned to buy a set of spark plugs for his car, remarking that he hoped to see 'some big battleships'. |
