Dear Colonel:
My brother and | arrived at ST. Pc
t%ersburg, Fla, two weeks ago. We
found the city and the climate all we
expected. Certainly is the busiest
and biggest little city on earth
Twin the exception Of Mexico. MOI
and the climate is perfect Don't
have any winter down here.
The coal and wood yard business
down here is as dead as the undertak
ers' trade. Someone asked mark
Twain" once what he thought was
the most perfect climate in tho
world. He answered: October, in
Missouri" Well. that may be true,
but l am certain December In Flor.
Ida would run a close second, as it
is Just as pleasant as October, or
September, for that matter, in any
State. The tourists are coming here
oy the hundreds every day. / fudge
that fifteen or twenty thousand will
visit the city this winter. at a meet
ing of some kind downtown last week
there were visitors present represnt-
ing ferty-four States.
Although we like the city and
are more than pleased with the eli,
mate, we get a little homesick
when we think of Mexico and the
Rihgo Hotel. doubt very much II
there are any hotels here better than
The Ringo or any manager who
SHOWS how TO please the public better
han Col. Dick Ashwortb. my former
boss"
BY the way, there are only about
orty or forty-five hotels in town.
one asked an old negro down
'ere how the people made a living. :

ikely build another one soon. OF
