Hov/ did you ever find time to write us such a long newsj'' letter! 
We enjoyed hearing the latest from Rio Indio. I think you are 
fortunate that Peraetrio’s brother is corregidor. I don’t think we

When we were at the Boca, the cantina was next to the store. 
I imagine you are referring to some other spot as I doubt ix you 
would want to be a lobby display. You might try out some loros 
on yo'ui- workmen and get their pay back from them after hours. 
Karl wrote me he was waiting for Stendahl and party. I guess
