Arrived here 1:30 p.m. after a very pleasant trip. We had beautiful weather until 7 p.m. this evening; & it has kept up a steady downpour all night. July 9th It seems inclined to be showery again this morning; and hope it will clear & let us have fine weather during our stay in "Switzerland". There is quite a large crowd from N. America. We had a grand meeting last night. I will send a card to Ma.? Hope you & the buch are well. WLE? 9th P.M. "Clear now." (It is very pretty here & will look better when clear.)"
