DESCRIBES WORK IN NEW MEXICO I The following interesting letter was received hy Mr. and Mrs. John AlberdIng. from their daughter. Catechist Eva Alberdtng. who recently entered the Mission field at New Mexico: "Victory Mount" Vegas. New Mexico. September 16. 1928. Dear Father, Mother and all: Well. I suppose you expected to hear from me sooner, but I was away Wednesday afternoon and didn’t wflte at all. Received yonr letter and was sure glad to get It. I hope you are feeling better and the rest are well. Yes. I was glad to get home too, even if it was only a short visit, as I hadn't expected that. 1 guess 1 could write you a long letter this time if it wouldn't take me so long. But then, I don’t think you can get much out of writing anyway for I had read all I found about the country and all, but still It is so different that 1 think one can not have the least idea of it until they have seen it. It’s just like another country. Don't think though, that I'm in the Wild West; it’s entirely different. We are are just outside of Vegas, one of the largest cities in New Mexico. They have everything anyone needs there, but you see everything is much higher than in the east. Catechist Directness wants to can tomatoes and I guess they have to paythree and one-half cents a pound for them all call that cheap. They want to buy another cow and one Jersey they've had a chance to buy is one hundred and seventy-five dollars. So you see that's why the poor people who have no way of getting any money, are so poor. Although they say the doctors are reasonable when they go to them, they charge a dollar a mile to go in the country and most of the people have no way to go except to walk. Os course, 1 guess every place is different within twentyfive miles or so, even the climate. Right around here there a»e just small patches along the irrigation ditches that raise anything worth while and the water costs so much. Then, this year the grass were so bad that instead of three cuttings of alfalfa they only had one. That is here at Victory Mound and at Anton Chico. I don't know if many ot the other I people have any or not. The little corn they have is about one third aS large as you have there. They have plenty of nice cabbage, cauliflower and pickles and said they had nice head lettuce last year but don't think they have this year. The people are mostly grouped together in little adobe villages in the . valleys and for miles and miles some- , times you do not see a house. 1 went j to Onton Chico with Catechist Renier and Catechist Doyle Wednesday at- ( ternoon, as the man here was taking some things over to the other Cathe- ; chists. The soil most of the way is a sort of reddish color with patches i cultivated. The toad is pretty good ] now, but in the winter when it snows, ; they say, it drifts around the hills so ( cars can not go through. The hills are mostly stone and sand with nothing growing on them except evergreen trees, cactus and a little weedy stuff | Instead of being “wild" there is nothing but a dead stillness almost a'U the I

way. The priest over at Anton Chico, about thirty-seven miles from here, lias quite a little garden for out here. He irrigates it once a week. He has several rows of grapes and makes his own alter wine. Then they say he lias a little store, too. The people over there are not quite as poor as those here. 1 guess it is a very old place. There are many ruins of the old adobe houses which have fallen down since the people have gone away. The church and Catechist house are seventy-five years old. We said stations in the church, which is not bad looking but lias coal oil lamps at each static nand the floor of about eight-inch planks creaks quite a bit when you walk over it. The benches (as most of them around herel are home made, but alike. The little church over at San Antonio is very nice but each family made his own pew sq there are many different kinds. No priest lives there but just comes about once a month. We had supper with the Catechist at Anton Chico. As they just have eight chairs (and the organ stool) and there were ten at the table, I had the privilege of sitting on the ironing board between two of the Catechist. The Catechists over there have quite a bit of canned things. Most of which they got from tlie people in their out missions. Two of the Catechist are pretty gbod carpenters and have made wash stands, fruit cupboards and cupboards for their mission clothes. I am to help the Catechist who has charge of the clothes room. Helped to give out things yesterday, mostly just wrapping. They have quite a few things here now, but never have enough for men and children. Have mens coats without trousers and mens socks but not many womens stockings. They get some good things and some that ire almost worn out but gfve out all) that., aiu-wortli anything. Os course it tbsTs'To send things so far but I know there are many people who hardly mend or use things made over who could send them if they had the least idea of how much good they would do some of the poor.
