"The better classes can not be seen before 8 but the natives are about mid day heat and make consider- able noise. The streets behind the native precinct do not open before 8 and some not until 9. So one is not likely to see a very elaborate nature unless it be the hot streets. At 9.30 we go to the Governor's House to the precinct and the Normal School and School of Science. Here are shown us a mineral collection or rather one of ours. At 12.30 we start away for Omitla. We go a short distance by mule ear to a narrow cañon road that is to be built finally to Tehuan- tepac. We go aboard the car and get off at Tule. Here we go into the church yard and see the great tree of Tule a cypress. On this tree on a smoothest part can be seen the great name of Humboldt said to have been written by him in his visit here. It certainly is the most wonderful tree I have seen. It looks like if several trees had grown together but it is said to be but one tree. At Tule our table conveyances long carriages are start away on the country road to Omitla.
