Letters from England
Elizabeth Davis Bancroft

Page 151 of 151

My dear Uncle: Yesterday I passed one of the most agreeable days I
have had in England at Oxford, where I went with a party to see Mr.
Bancroft take his degree.  .  .  .  Nothing could have gone off better
than the whole thing.  Mr.  Bancroft went up the day before, but Mrs.
Stuart Mackenzie and her daughter, with Lady Elizabeth Waldegrave,
Louisa, and myself went up yesterday morning and returned at night.
We lunched at the Vice-Chancellor's (where Mr.  B.  made a pleasant
little informal speech) and were treated with great kindness by
everybody.  I wish you could have seen Mr.  Bancroft walking round
all day with his scarlet gown and round velvet cap, such as you see
in old Venetian pictures.  From this time forward we shall have the
pain of bidding adieu, one by one, to our friends, as they leave
town not to return till we are gone.
