Dear Editor: I have read many of your in
teresting letters published in the San Francisco
| CALL and hope that mine will be as well
| favored.
shall now endeavor to let you have brief
| sketch of Mazatlan, Mexico. TO which place !
once made short visit with some friends OF
| ours to see their home. We took the Pacific
| Mail steamer and had q most pleasant trip and
i .
We landed at MaZatlan on October l after
| seven days on the water. The climate is ex.
ceedingly ho<down there, and to a San Fran.
| cisco girl it Is almost unbearable. So after
| about two months l returned home. We had
| thanksgiving on board the steamer and had q
| lovely time. The houses are not built tall as
ours are, there being but very few higher, than
one story. They are made of adobe with roofs
| of bark.
| We subscribe for THE CALL and we all say il
is the best paper in the City. Yours truly,
