Manila Letter from Theodore Rohn on life in Manila
The writer describes Manila’s Escolta as a narrow European dominated retail street and Rosario with Chinese merchants. He notes poor sanitation in Tondo, high death rates, modern San Sebastian churches, and the unique woodwork of St. Ignacio. He laments leper crowds, Chinese trade dominance, and social changes under war, ending with holiday wishes from Manila.
