Scope and Content

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.
