 q Bisbee. Arizona, Jan, 25,19f' My Dear;
 have been in this toNr for more than thirty-six hours and have not written you letter bs fore as ! could not make up my mind just what to say of the place As this is my hr>: trip through this part of the country it has oi course, been very interesting al the way, bat really this city .e the most interesting place ! have seen so far. It is interesting be cause it is so different
 As you dOubtltss know Bisbee is located right in the mountains, but you could not realize how much il is in the mountains until you have seen it. That was the first thing thing that l noticed when I got of the train. When you start for any place in this town you must either go up or down and probably both is it is any distance. but there is cer. tainly a fascination abost the mount aims that I can realize after being here only such a short time and that I know grows on one the longer he stays.
 There is something in the a. mosphere here that would make any one like the place if he stayed even a few hours and met some of the people who live here
 Almost everybody here has come from someplace else. at least that, is true among the people that naE- met, none of them are natives but have come here from other states and I have met people from almost every part of the country. Every one that I have talked with is strong fer 8isbee and Arizona, that is the thing that makes me like the place. Everyone as a Booster. but not like the boosters of' some of the other western states. You remember how the Churchs talk of Idaho whenever they come back east and the Matters of Washing ton, they both put it on so strors taat it always seemed to F-s that they Gid not really ,-aean it but were h2d of ''U-.hstling to keen up their corTase" That is not the way the people have met down here talk Almost without excep- tion they have said, when l first hit this part of the country I was tempted to take the first train back home, but stayed and now would not want to live any place else" They all say it in a way that shows they mean it too and usually add that they would not expect a person from the east to like it at first but that everyone who stays for any length of time becomes enthusiastic about it.
 The mines are the big thing here in fact the entire reason for the existence of Bisbee, and they are tremendous institutions. But the town is not what you would expect
 -AAAAA camp lv Dt
 There are street cars here that are better than those that run in some Of the larger cities that have visited. and the hotels. stores, banks and other business buildings are way. ahead of those that you would find in any city of the same size in the east The people are not different from those that we are used to sssociating with. except that they are much more hosDitable. They all have time or will take time to talk to you and are much more civil than those that live where the country is olderl
 There are many interesting things here that l will not try to write about but I know will talk an arm of of you when I get back There is one thing though that must speak Of and that is the bur ros. There are lots of them here and they seem to be a very necer- sary institution but the thing that amusad me about them was to see a pack team of the little animals driven by a Mexican going up the street between an electric car. and an automobile. ! know that to one who lives here that is a common ieat but it impressed me as great Illustration of the rapid progress that is being made. The cars haven't followed the pack animal in the course Of years but are here before the latter have passed ont ! am going to take home a bunch Of picture post cards of this place and 8 memory fuH of an interesting ana pleasant visit and know the desire to come lack again sometime. so be prepared.
 With love to all-Kour husband.
