Mexico Aug. 27. Monday Our small party of Mrs. Bass and son, Aguileria, Mrs Shepard and daughter, Dr. Cummins, Neil Kessel, Bryland, Schenck, John, Power, La Magan and myself arrived here at 7 A.M. Came to Kingman (Guardiola) Hotel and took a room for the remainder of my stay. Then cleaned up, unpacked, and sent films (8) to Phil along with 6 fax letters. After lunch spent most of the afternoon selecting 5 x 7 photos of Mexican scenery made by C. B. Baite, San Juan de Letran, No 3. He has about 2000 Mexican views at $ 3 Mex. per doz. Also ordered 20 slides, and one large view of China in action. Then walked around the city for an hour. The new Post Office is first class, well built and up to date. The general plan is American but simply changed to fit Mexican ideas. Then off to the Cathedral at the Palace on the site of Mon- tejumas Palace and the Theatre.
