On 7 September 1874, her first full day of shopping and sightseeing in London: «J'ai beaucoup fait aujourd'hui, visité la Tour, passé par the City, toutes les rues principales et été chez Mrs Brown où j'ai commandé un chapeau, chez Paole où j'ai commandé une amazone et chez Wolmershausen où j'ai commandé un costume gris avec du velours vert» (023.0593).
