I cannot describe all to you now, but if you will ask me to after I come home I will be glad to do so.
There are hundreds of cocoanut palm trees growing about the low lands just back of the beach, which look very queer with their smooth tall trunk and bushy tops [doodle of palm tree]. The cocoanuts hang in bunches just at the base of the leaves.
There are dozens of parrots for sale on shore and some of them are fine birds. Think that you girls would like one when I come home. They can be bought for about $2.50 to $3.00. I guess there are many other curiousities of different kinds that I will perhaps see tomorrow if I go ashore again and it does not rain. You see it is the rainy season now. Instead of snowing it rains here in winter. It does not get cold.
I will write another letter to you girls from Victoria next week.
Good bye, from your papa,
Lawrence Bruner
