Bear ISe, Willliyas! 
faoagh I haw Been soia© tis® aaswsriag your letter, I haw aot forgotton 
ycfar sereral inqroiries. I kao® you wold like, to visit Jimn S^madies, tat 
I foar that you smoid not fiM it very helpful with your present difficulty. 
Tiijmsh not coM, th® clliaat© is cool, very meh like ui^r California. Bains 
are pitiful, and, thou'h there is tail during the wiater, there is no freest* 
ing weather, flse damnMssss would adversely affect year health, 1 aia sure. 
It is heoause of the great Effiistar© of tli© eli»te tlmt there is such lumriant 
vegetation. 
Houses can h® tad on occasion, tat I doaht if for laor© tlmn rent, as 
the tarm is vixtmliy the property of the fishing concession which furnishes 
tta livelihood for tta intahitants. % advice to folks who want to visit 
.Juan Fomandes is to first aalce s trip there to look over the grouTid. !i5)ss 
Eacific 3t®sEi tavisation CcMtpu^ runs a once yearly wpiraioa to the Island, 
usually in Beoenhar or Jansutry. Xou can l<smi ahcut it hy inauiry at scsss® 
local travel huresa. 
For s person who wants to live in a hmutiful place, with prscticsally 
non© of the civilised conveniences as xm knc® thas tod^j who just wants to 
vo.ijetat© for tli® rest of Ms life, Juan Fernandes would he tiie ideal place. 
Like any other |®rt of tta world, I aa ear® you coaM find soese sinigl© girl 
who tTOtad listen to a mtrMonial proposal. 5!h® Freshtasan in lay articl© was 
shiporecked on Joan Ferimndes , found Miaself a wife , and has there raised 
a faraily.
