Ruth and Olivia Dougherty both write long letters home about their trip, dated April 12 to June 23, 1931. The last letter mentions a 4th of July invitation while they are in England; their return date is uncertain. Olivia, in her April 12 letter, thanks her parents for sending her red diary as it has more space than Ruth's and she promises to fill it intelligently. They begin with a description and list of the many gifts sent by friends and relatives and thank yous to their parents for gifts. Their letters are enthusiastic and full of details about people they know and meet. They discuss ship life, fellow travelers, sights, travel arrangements, hotels, etc.
