We had a very hot and dusty journey but were otherwise comfortable, and arrived at Ottawa about twelve. John and E went off to lunch with Lady Melgund at Rido, but as she did not know we were coming I was not invited, and so Hedley and I lunched in our car, and then drove to lionize the Claudiere Falls, where the Ottawa River falls about two hundred feet.
Lord Rayleigh, the president of the British Association for the advancement of Science, Lady Rayleigh, Clara Lady Rayleigh, Hon. Hedley Strutt and Hon.

For Bishop Hedley carried his Great Commission in his face and his life was a living sermon.
Presently a nigger of fine appearance, with a companion, played the banjo and sung. It is surprising how little music and amusement they seem to have. Letter No 8.
