This diary partially overlaps the account of the trip of Ellen Starr Brinton on the Queen Elizabeth and at the Friends House in London found in a previous document, which was sent to Betty in Geneva. Frequently mentions Elma, her traveling companion. Also often mentions the following organizations and meetings: F.O.R. (Fellowship of Reconciliation) A.F.S.C.

Back to England, traveling through various towns and cities, discussion of Peace Committee papers, Indian Conciliation Group papers, and a Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom meeting with the ex-Mayor of Reading and Lady Marian Ellis Parmoor. On 20 June Brinton left for Denmark, met up with Mrs. Cederfield, and went to a Copenhagen Peace Society and United Nations Association meeting. Then on to Germany again, discussion of currency reform; Brinton spoke at a meeting and engaged in a heated debate over America’s failure to help the Jews during World War II and what Germans really thought of Hitler. Notes that the Americans set off fireworks for the Fourth of July, which reminded Germans of air raids and was in incredibly poor taste. Went to the Russian Sector of Berlin, traveled throughout West Germany, Frankfurt, Cologne, Freiberg, Stuttgart, Munich, and then on to Vienna, Zurich, Geneva, Paris, Brussels, The Hague (where she was looking for the Ford Papers in archives), London, and then left for the US.
