The letters from abroad keenly observe the geography, culture and politics of Europe, Egypt, Palestine, the East and West Indies, Africa, Canada and the United States. Other topics comprise the investiture of the Prince of Wales, 1911; an official cabinet visit to the King at Windsor Castle, 1932; the funeral of George V, 1936; Gore 's own lifelong interest in architecture, art and sculpture beginning as early as 1902-1903, with later references to the National Gallery, 1928, and the National Museum of Wales, 1939; the management of Derrycarne Estate until its sale in 1924 and alterations to the Brogyntyn estates through death duties and wartime economy, 1938-1945.
