We cannot close this letter without description of the
great Cathedral Of Francisco, at Lima as 10 enable
the reader form some conception OF the magnificent gran
deur of those churches have referred to- and for which s
delightful city is renowned Before the cathedral there Is
large elevated Plaza enclosed by an iron railing The cxte
ror of the building distinguished for its massive grand

zled by the golden images the superb stauay the
beautiful paintings and the immense wealth and treasure e3
