Scope and content
Written at Glacier House, Glacier, B.C. Is resting at a chalet hotel at the foot of the Great Glacier. 'Passed yesterday through scenery that defies description for grandeur & sublimity. ... Uncanny is the word for a good deal of it'. Describes the scenery in detail. The news from the Transvaal may cause him to change his plans: 'War means the summoning of Parliament & the former now seems inevitable. The prospect oppresses me with a deep sense of horror. I shall protest with all the vehemence at my command against this blackguardism which is perpetrated in the name of human freedom'. Has had enough of the holiday - 'I am set up as I haven't been for years & now I want to get to work'. Hopes to receive letters from home at Vancouver.
