⁂ A personal account of a summer visit to America and Canada by George Spittles, the Rector of Bulwell and Canon of Southwell Cathedral. Upon his return he wrote an account of his visit for distribution to family and friends.
"On the second day of my visit to Halifax, I had lunch at Rockingham with Mrs. Keyston and her daughter Judith, at their lovely home. Robins larger than thrushes and canaries as plentiful as English house-sparrows made their garden for me just an unbelievable experience, which is hardly surprising since it was the first garden I had seen on this side of the Atlantic and yet I ought to have been prepared for any and every surprise!"
