The many friends of J. C. Franklin in this city will be glad to hear from him and we publish the following extract of a letter from him to his sister in this city.

SANTA ANA, LOS ANGELES COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, FEBRUARY 14, 1882.

DEAR SISTER: We have bought seven acres of land, as near town as Mr. Hickok’s live. We have 2 acres of raisin grapes, 100 bearing orange trees, 12 lemon trees, peach, apple, plum, apricot, fig, English walnut trees; besides we have plenty of oranges on the trees to last us the year round. The grass is quite green. Peach trees are beginning to bloom; then there is also green fruit of all sizes and all colors of blossoms. We have a very nice climate. The thermometer has not been below freezing this winter. Geraniums grow here as tall as the fence and as large a bunch as a hogshead. We went out to Newport on New Years day, and took our dinners with us (a landing on the ocean about nine miles from here). We are about 40 miles from Los Angeles. The baby is lying on a pallet on the floor, is quite a boy. When we sing and play the organ, he tries to sing too. We are building and will be settled soon in our own house. We are well.

(All ye brother bachelors go and do likewise.)
