Oct. 29th. We stayed at the house and did counseling on the future course of the mission and did reading and conversing. Next day we advertised and posted a notice for a meeting on the Common and went to Melbourne where we tried on our suits.
We visited the Botanic Gardens east of Melbourne and saw many native and foreign trees and flowers, very nicely and expensively arranged. We witnessed boat racing on the Yarrow River. Then we viewed the artillery practice, maneuvering and firing. We walked about twenty miles and were back about dusk. At 11:00 P.M. Brother Witheral and wife from Geelong arrived and we visited until 1:00 A.M. They are faithful, intelligent Saints. Sister Witheral has traveled considerably in the U.S. and is well informed.
