There are a great many northern people here now. The great improvements going on in the city bring many, and then the tourists are many. We are going over to Saltillo in the state of Coahuila tomorrou to stay over night. We are going for the grand mountain scenery. Our friends tell us not to miss it He will return here before going back to Austin, where we left our trunk* Austin is about 500 miles from here. We then go to San Antonio. El Paso, and then up to Grand Canyon of Arizona and California. So many peopl» go to these places there Is nothing to tell that everyone does not know. These people are new to me. and I thought might be new to you. as not many of our people come to Mexico. Elizabeth Stndabaker Morrisop.
