Colima, Mexico

By J. E. Frazee

THIS is my first winter in Mexico, and it is altogether the warmest winter I have ever enjoyed. I have spent winters near the Canada line, when the mercury went down to sixty below zero, and froze in the thermometer, but never before have I passed a winter when I could sit in my room in January, with doors and windows open, and read and write in perfect comfort.

My stay here has been a pleasant one. The people are kind and polite, and many of them thank me for selling them such a good book. Three weeks ago I delivered a book to the governor. This week I met his daughter at a Catholic college. She was very enthusiastic in praise of the book, and ordered another, which I delivered the next day. The governor, judge, and other prominent men seem to be interested in the number of books sold here. It seems as if I obtained, with the Lord's help, orders from nearly all the best citizens of this city. Twice men stopped me on the street to give an order. The people of Mexico are so cordial that I really enjoy the book work here.
