Gentlemen: YOU 'Ll)t realize how delighlted I 'was when oil two reellt oc(asions on going to the postolfic nld opening imly box I foind one of my home papeir 'I'le Advertiser, and I will say furthe that there was, I know, mighty little iin those tw o papers that escaped lily notice and I celltailily appreclate youi kIndness inl sendling them. Ti'lmIs Is certainly i very pretty country, and surely rightly called "Lanod of Flow ers", for they are everywhere. There seems to be just plenty of fruit, lots of It still on' the trees and I really cannot understand why the prices re main so high. A person can go out to the groves just out of the city and buy them much chealier, both oranges ar grape fruit, and you can also buy them from wagons cheaper. I saw what to ie looked like a good sized fish and It iwas alive and so must have been caught near here. It weighed two hundred and fifty-four pounds. Also saw a live turtle that weighed three hundred and fifty pounds and they say very fine to eat. I have seen many 13, 14 and 15 pound -h that were caught right here In Tampa in the Hillsborough River, which runs thrpugh the city. The city is full of people who have been here dltielig tho winter and the city is trying to get reay for Billy Sunday, who is to be here on the 17th, I think. Let me thank you again 'for your kindness and I will bring this to a close as I hope to be back home some time soon, anytway and can tell more about things down here. Yours truly, R. P. Traynham, Postoffice Box 1125. Miss Young's Director and Her Cam era Man.
