Letters sent to Dora Trench by Bertha Turnor during Bertha's time in Stockholm Sweden.

In one letter of note Bertha writes about a visit to the Swedish palace, '....A servant footman there showed us into a room where a lot of ladies, all in black with white sleeves were standing about & talking. Tea was being handed around but as Mrs P did not take any, I thought I had better not. I did not see anyone I know except for [Countess] Wachtmeister the Mistress of the Robes, who we had called on at the Palace. She shook hands, & then asked us to follow her into a little room next door. That is where the diplomats are received. There were only 9 of us there. The German minister's wife with a daughter & friend- Mrs P. niece & Sue the American [?] wife Mrs O'Neill with 2 daughters. We stood in a row on one side . After a few minutes waiting the doors were thrown open & the Queen came in followed by a [?] & 2 or 3 gentlemen. She was dressed in a high purple velvet gown with a headdress of feathers & lace & diamonds about. We all curtsied. She first talked for sometime in German to the 3 Germans. Then in excellent English to Mrs P. She asked if she had got into her flat yet & about the weather, skating, [?], including miss P & I. I made a remark about the skating but Mrs P did most of it..'

I was not disappointed in them. They are grand in spite of everything having been done to spoil the place. There are great factories close by, worked by the water, the banks are linded with lifts & railways of all sorts to pull you up & down. You are pursued by guides & drivers & men selling shell boxes, photos & mugs with "Niagara" on there, as mementos & a huge advertisement of "Carters little Liver pills" is just above one fall!..'

She also writes of her disappointment with Cuba, ' ... I am much disappointed in Havana. There is nothing to remind one, one is in the tropics except the heat. It is just like Marseilles are one of the Sout European towns the same narrow ill paved streets, & the same street houses with the plaster peeling of & muels with bells and tassels, only there are no beautiful mountains & no interesting buildings & hardly any trees, which most tropical towns have...'
