been matter of regret to the inhabitants Of this city
that on the arrival of nyalds from the United States
with letters of introduction, it has never been in their
power to recommend them suitable residence in
the country. 1t has therefore been necessary for
such persons either to take up their abode in the
hotels IN town, where the noise and hustle of a crowd
ed city, and the want of the pure atmosphere and
calm retirement of country life, prevent their de-
living that benefit from the change of climate which
they naturally expect or they compelled to 60 to
places in the country where adequate preparations
have been made for receiving them, and where the
apartments, accommodations, and manner of living,
are in wise calculated for persons i'm delicate
state of health.

great benefit that would be derived by invalids who
seek to regain that health i'm the mild and benefcent
climate of Cuba, if suitable abode should be pro-
