Please help me solve this problem. I'm not quite sure what "this" in the following paragraph refer to?

Natsume Soseki went to Britain about 100 years ago as a student sent by the Ministry of Education. He was 33 years old and a professor at the Fifth High School in Kumamoto then. He left Yokohama by ship in September 1900, and reached London two months later.

Britain was more developed than other countries in those days. There was already a web of undergrounds in London---30 years before the first underground in Tokyo. Everything Soseki saw and heard was a wonder.

He enjoyed buying used books, walking in the parks and going to the theaters. He wrote this to his wife: "I wish you could see the wonderful theater shows. In one show, I saw about sixty women dancing on the stage in gorgeous costumes."

Here my guess is...
1) That enjoyed buying used books, walking in the parks and going to the theaters.
2) "I wish you could see the wonderful theater shows. In one show, I saw about sixty women dancing on the stage in gorgeous costumes."
3) both 1) and 2) are correct

Which would you think is correct?
