July 25, 1936.
Dear Mr. Vining:
i Since our arrival in London two
'weeks ago Mrs. Johnson and I have
had so many interesting experi
ences to report to Tryon that if
I should write about them all and
you should print the letter, your
D'-'ily Bulletin would look like a
Sunday edition of the New York
Times. This being impracticable,
I shall tell about only one event
which we have witnessed, the
King’s procession to his presenta
tion of the new colors to his
guards.
It was Thursday, July 16. Joyce
Grenfell, Mrs. Johnson, and I left
th' Grenfell cottage at Taplow
early in the morning and were
whisked into Paddington Station,
London, on one of the English toy
trains at a speed that would have
dazed those who are used to
traveling by rail from Tryon to
Then we rode for
F“tupoence” on one of the big
double-deck buses to the Marble
Arch and watched our grinning
driver swing in and out among

Norman Johnson
Writes London
Letter Today
Norman Johnson, headmaster of
the Asheville School, who with
Mrs. Johnson, is visiting in Lon
don, writes this month’s London
letter for Miss Virginia Graham,
our London correspondent. Last
month’s letter was written by Mrs.
Reginald Grengell, daughter of
Mrs. M. B. Flynn. A number of
Tryon’s citizens are natives of
England and some of our people
visit London each year. The two
communities have much in common
and we hope as our interests in- «
crease that London will hear much
of Tryon. We feel sure all our
readers will appreciate Mr. John
son’s letter and will enjoy it as
first hand information about an
interesting visit.
