AN INTERESTING FLORIDA LETTER.
PENSACOLA. December 18th. 1880.

PENSACOLA, December 18th, 1880.
EDITOR lSrRLLIGRNCER-DEAR SIR: / write
by an open bay window with my coat on,
the soft south wind US balmy as June in Mis-
souri,. L will not trouble you with a long
account of our trip; 1t was without accident or
incident worthy OF note. But the bonfire and
illumination on the night of our advent WAS u
great success, over one hundred houses IN the
business center Of the city are among the things
that were. / find myself 10 be = flrst.class
porter. The way 1 lit out with q trunk OF two
hundred pounds weight. would have flied the
most robust roustabout with envy. However,
the hotel did not burn, and all my display Of
strength counted for nothing.
We are delighted with our situation, at the
Continental, u private boarding house Of good
style, large rooms we'll furnished, ample
grounds. with fine spreading live oak trees.
(you will see a picture OF the house in that
pamphlet on rensaeola). It Is kept by an old
Virginia family, very pleasant people indeed.
they are Episcopalians, and have three grown
daughters fine looking and intelligent girls. L
have been down among the fish this morning,
and saw red snappers by the hundreds. 1t ia
no trouble to get tugs or any Kind OF boats VIC
wish with plenty of good company to go out
to the snapper banks and catch ne many as you
like. I knew some OF the captains Of little
teamers aud have every reason to believe We
can have rare sport If you come down. don't
think you will be in any hurry to get to the
frost aud snow of Missouri. My tickets from
Lexington to this place cost Sa5 each; l psy go
per month board. and So extra Tor fire, In an
open fire place, with the best oak and pine wood,
just what We Want. The city has about eight to
ten thousand persons during the winter, and
about 200 ships and other craft all the time. and
Is quite a seaport town. Capt. Kiser tells me he
can take me up Y river he runs about forty miles
from here where you cannot step without put
ting your loot on deer signs, and Of course tine
fishing everywhere. Santa Rosa Island Is In
sight from here, some Blk miles away. and
from a hill two squares from this house you can
see the whole bay aud hsrbor Of Pensacola. We
think now We VIII be here until April or May,
and I hope to see friends from Lexington In
January. We feel confident they will be salts
fed and enjoy the visit. The residence property
is quite elegant in this part Of the city. II per-
sons desiring to come write me l can get them
| rooms IN this house, the best in the city. My
wife is doing well, and the prospect is good for
her. We send best regards to all friends.
Yours truly. II. ADAMS.
