Morgan, who was then our minister to Cuba.
From Havana he went to the Isle of Pines.
ISLE OF PINES, March 26th, 1906.
DEAR MOTHER:-- We are just returning from the Isle of Pines.

We reached there after a day on the water at about six on Wednesday, 22nd.

They dropped us at a woodshed in a mangrove swamp, where a Mr.Mason met us with two mules.
I must have said I was going to the island because every one was expecting me.

Until the night before we had really no idea when we would go, so, to be welcomed wherever we went, was confusing.

For four days we were cut off from the world, and in that time, five days in all, we covered the entire island pretty thoroughly-- It was one of the most interesting trips I ever took and Cecil enjoyed it as much as I did.
