Dear Sir:

Please find enclosed bill of lading from Wells Fargo & Co.

to Construct a house in your community; I hope you will like the piece
of stone from our mountains in this part of the world; and will
appreciate your notice as soon as you receive the "Onix", and let
us know if uou receive it in good conditions.

Yours very truly and fellow Rotarian.

A TYPICAL BELL TOWER IN NEW SPAIN
Some of these fine old bells were cast in Spain in the seventeenth century and hung in the tower of the Puebla's Cathedral. They are not swung, but are strick by the clappers, to which rawhide ropes are attached, as shown in the picture. Puebla is still one of hte most delightful towns in this colorful land. The Domincan fahers established here an industry in colored tile making which has persisted in spite of wats and revolution.
