Description

Correspondence to Imogene Snowden, Port Colborne, Canada, from Annie Brinkley Snowden, Rue du Mont Blanc, Geneva, Switzerland, 1896 July 5.

Annie is updating her sister, Imogene, about her European travels. "Went to Baker's musical store with Mrs. McCrackan(?) - a charming little lady who is staying at our Pension, and who takes special interest in us. We know her so well & like her so much now - The musical store was so fascinating that we have visited it frequently since...Saturday evening we went with a large party from our Pension to the Exhibition...We were greatly amused with the moving photographs - The moving room made me sick at my stomach...We walked along the lake until we arrived at Cologny where we saw Byron's home...We spent the morning at the Exhibition. It is something like the Chicago Fair only on a very small scale. The display of watches is very fine. The Swiss village is perfect - an ideal village...Sad to relate we were not cheered by any fireworks. It seemed strange not to have then on the fourth...We have jolly old times with the Princess. She is very charming, intelligent and lovely to us. She & her mother speak nearly every language...I forgot to mention seeing the imposing Castle of Chillon when we were making the tour of the lake."

Annie Brinkley Snowden was the daughter of R.B. Snowden.
