not much wonder that a district which is not wealthy has 
not yet extended it.* 
A very small hotel for summer visitors from Chur was 
built about 4 years ago, and this year another small hotel is 
being built and will be ready next spring, besides which the 
ground is marked out for a third, so that there are already 
indications that the place is likely to grow. 
I have good reason to believe that the statement made by 
those in the neighbourhood that Arosa is remarkably well 
sheltered from wind in the winter will be found to be 
correct, and as far as I can judge from the position I believe 
that Arosa will be found more favourably situated than 
any of the mountain resorts which have yet been tried in 
winter. 
St. Moritz, October, 1882. 
# Each of the mountain health resorts ought, in my opinion, to be 
separately and thoroughly studied, as I believe that in time we shall see 
that there are marked differences, and one is suitable for one class of 
patients while another may be more suitable for others, and we shall then 
see that the general classification of mountain health resorts is to be placed 
on a level with the remarks of a well-known German doctor, whose 
works on climatic questions are often quoted, who makes a comparison of 
a German watering place with Margate, Brighton, and Torquay, as if all 
places on the South Coast had a similar climate.
