Voyage to England

I've tried to transcribe the letter of my great grandmother,Betsy Sharpe Walker, who traveled from Quebec to England in the summer of 1897. My grandmother would have been 9 that year and Betsy who traveled with her husband, Edward, would have been 44. Edward had just celebrated his 50th birthday in June. In that summer of 1897 Edward and Betsy had been married 27 years and were the parents to 8 living children, the youngest being only 4 years old.

From the pages that have survived it's clear that there are some missing and it's been somewhat difficult to figure out the order.

But the following is a paragraph from that letter:

I returned to the state room at once to acquaint Mr. Walker of the . . . .

There's clearly more to that paragraph & like many handwritten letters punctuation is scattered at best.
