05Jun1871, Farewell Glorious Place!

CHATSWORTH AND LONDON, June 5th, 1871.
—Farewell ! glorious place ! The last evening or two I have sat in the little state-room about 7, rejoicing in the perfection of things seen from the window. The lovely stretch of lawn, the stately trees on either side of the Emperor pond, the park sloping steeply up ; and the grand crown of woods, all in "various green." London ; and East London ! blocks in Cheapside, grimy streets, roaring crowds, Hospital wards.
