GOOD LETTER
FROM REV.
FRED STAFF

Merida, Yucatan, Mexico, Feb l.
1912.
Dear Friends at Home:
1 am in Yucatan, in the state cap
itol, Merida, a quaint, ancient (for
America city OF $4,000 inhabitants.
in which the old and the new strange
ly mingle. Donkey carts, driven by
red skinned Mayas, get out OF the
way when the automobile horn toots
behind them; half-naked men, carry
ing heavy loads OF wood on their
backs, lean against a telephone pole
for rest.
l shall make at least two excur-
sions to ancient ruins, partly by rail,
partly in carriage and to one, it may
be, on horseback or muIeback.
We had a stormy passage from Ha-
vana, but I was not sick and 1 slept
well on the ocean.
This morning at 6 o'clock we an
chored off Progreso, four miles from
land. We were transferred to a
flat bOttomed tug, which took US witt
in 100 yards Of the dock; then we
were again transferred to a still more
flat bQttOmed scow, which was pulled
ashore by man power.
About twenty tourists came from
the boat, to visit this place. We had
lunch here, then We rode around the
city in carriages. Now all but two
and myself have returned to the steam
er We three start for the ruins OF
Chichan to morrow morning. This is
not a popular trip, not appealing as
Havana and Jamaica do to American
pleasure seekers.
Mr. Young, the man at ProgresO.
who manages the 'Yucatan tours, -
was on the boat from Havana.
There are railways in Yucatan, but
with no connecting links with the out
side world. For purposes Of travel
it is as if Yucatan were an island.
Mail steamers come from New York
and Havana once a week, then go
to Vera Cruz and return to Progreso,
Havana and New York. If what they
tell me is true, you will not get
this letter for ten days.
I shall either return via Havana,
leaving PrOgreso, Feb. 10th; or, if
can, 1 shall catch a boat at Pro
greso for New Orleans. One leaves
three times a month and comes back
that way do not know its dates
for sailing.
There is no doubt but that I am
better and l shall be much better
when l come home.
