A card written December 9Th by
s. j. Edmunds reached us on the
10th and from it we learned that
our friends who left here Thanks
giving reached Indio, Calf, on the
4th. Mr.. Edmunds informs us that
Indio is 90 feet below the sea level
and they are about l25 miles from
the coast. Flower gardens are in
full bloom, temperature is 80 in the
shade, and dust is from 6 inches to
a foot deep. The orange harvest
is in full blast and the party get all
the oranges they want at ten cents a
dozen. A good many consumptives
have crossed our tourist friends paths
and Mr.. Edmunds says all those not
too far advanced seem to be benefit
ted by the climate of the valley in
which mdio lies. He further adds
that water is a luxury there and very
much in demand. We take from the
last word Of instruction on the card
that the party remained but a short
time at this place as the Democrat
was ordered to be sent to San Die
go.
