MArArMoRAs, Mex Feb Is, 1919
We arrived from New York in n days, by the
ship John Cashier, to Brazos Santiago, and thence
to Point Isabel, aud. having passed over the bat
tie grounds of PalO Alto and Resaca de la Palma,
and stopped one night at the residence of Major
Taylor, brother to the Presdent,) a fine old man
of some years, reached here, in good health and
spirits. Tomorrow we 60 by land to Camargo,-
some parties 60 by the Rio Grande. The cholera
is at Fort Brown, opposite here, and am told Is
to 20 die daily.
This letter was mailed at Brownsville on the
9th inst, by another hand, when the cholera had
Capt. Teeny, well known during the late war, is
with us, as guide. James h Baldwin, of your
city, is also with us, and his knowledge OF the
Spanish language and of the customs OF the coun-
thy is very useful to our company, Of which he Is
lieutenant. l find that the Crockett name Is any
thing but popular among the Mexlcans; they owe
old Davy grudge, and ] fancy they eye me
rather sharply and it might be good policy in me
to change my name.
The gold fever RACES with the greater intensity

California, which may be of some importance

tie baggage as you can-duties on goods are very
high; bring water proof goods tor personal safety.
as the dews are heavy and dangerous, Persons
coming here should be extremely careful in their
diet; intemperance, in any sense is sure to bring
a stranger down. And especially 1t should be re-
membered that much privatlon and difficulty must
be endured.
Our expenses, so far, have been under our esti-
mate of 1925 tor the whole route from New York
to San Francisco. Mules here are $40 to els; sad
dies, very good ones, lett by our government, can
be bought for so cents. Beef is &c. per 10; best
butter 25c., cheese Sc, hams l2lc sugar to l2c.
