Los Angeles HERALD, Los Angeles, CAL:
GENTLEMEN Yours Of May 2lst has
been received and your request has been
complied with. We are much gratified
with the way Glimpses OF America has

sets have been sold in Pennsylvania,

its, and all seem to agree that it is as
nearly perfect az it is possible to make
such q work.
had the pleasure of being in your
city August and part OF September,
1892. l can hardly express what re-
lief it was to rest in your beautiful val
ley after weeks and months in the
mountains and caflons of Colorado and
Arizona. We were indeed sorry to
leave. Los Angeles has bright future.
Both as summer and winter resort, all
things considered, it is one of the most
attractive places in the world. If the
wealthy people of the United States
only knew the charms OF your southern
country, it's bracing air, its fruits and
flowers, Europe would lose a large share
OF it's present tourist travel and your
beautiful valleys and seaside resorts
would be crowded with visitors every

southern seacoast resorts as to the ia.

With dreamful eyes
Ny spirit lies
Where summer sings and never dies
Oerveled with vines
She CLOVIS and shines
Among her future oils and wines.
The day SO mild
Is Heavens own child,
With earth and ocean reconciled.
The airs feel
Around me steal
Are murmurng to the murm uring keel.
Yon d. ep barge goes
Where traffic blows
From lands of sun TO lands of SHOWS.
This happier one
Its course is run
From lands of suow to lands OF sun.
No more no more
The worldly shore
Upbraids me With its loud uproar
Win dreamful eyes
Ny spirit lies
Under the walls of Paradse
