Sub-subseries
This
subseries chronicles the leisure trip taken by Edmund William Patrick Guerin,
Mary Catherine Sexton and a Miss Davies, possibly a friend of Mary's, the
chaperone of the future spouses, who would in fact marry at the end of the
voyage in 1904. The journey began precisely on June 29, 1903, and ended nearly
a year later, on April 27, 1904. Mary wrote an original account of the trip by
hand, and then created a typewritten version that includes pictures. In the
company of the man she refers to as "Mr. Guerin," Mary and Miss Davies,
who were both American, began by visiting the cities of Montreal and Quebec
before making the crossing to Europe. Among the countries visited were
Scotland, England, Belgium, Switzerland, Italy and France. Mary recounts the
details of her daily life, the tourist attractions visited, and the people
encountered.
Language: The documents are in English.
