One OF the most interesting let
tiers which has been brought to
the attention Of The Citizen for
some time is from Leon c. Canova
who was. during the Spanish-Am-
erican War sometimes in Key West
when in command Of the filibus-
tering Tug Dauntless under char
ter to the Associated Press
Mr.. Canova was here last week
and spent delightful time meet
ing old friends and forming new
acquaintance. In his letter he
dwells on the fact that key
West has been born again, has
stepped out Of the depression a
new city. 1t took great disaster
to do it but your community has
risen like Phoenix from its ashes
of despair into a place of sub
stantial beauty and vigorous and
youthful attraction"
A native of St. Johns county
and a descendant of the Spanish
colony of st. Augustine, Mr..
Canova writes of the early terri
torial days when Key West was in
st. Johns county and when, in
those days star reaching Monroe
was taken from her side like the
Biblical ri5 rom Adam, st. Johns
and her people were naturally
closely related to Monroe and her
people"
Mr.. Canova cites the geo.
graphical changes which have
taken place since that time and
that A other counties have been
taken from the original area of
st. Johns county.
Further along in his letter, Mr..
Canova writes that in his opinion
