Message Transcription
Dear friends, —
Lima, Peru, March 14th
We were at a big cathedral & monastery & market this morning. The latter was particularly interesting. This is a very dirty city, but enjoy it thoroughly nonetheless. Met the father of Mrs. Thurlow of Lancaster, [she?] took me out the last two evenings. We go back to the boat this afternoon, next port of call is Mollendo.
Your friend — Mrs. A.S.B."
