A Letter From Florida From West Palm Beach Residents
A letter describes living in West Palm Beach Florida for over a month. The writers praise the warm climate two blocks from the lake and ocean, buy a lot, camp in a tent to save rent, plan a permanent home, and note gardens with mango, guava, orange trees, and jelly from guava. They expect to stay and build a life while enjoying fruit, fresh air, and roving warships seen at the beach.
