Mannix is thankful to be away from the old scenes where she suffered so much in the last three years. The journey to California was pleasant. During the boom time the house they leased rented for one hundred and twenty-five dollars, but since the boom collapsed things are different. The pastor in San Diego, Father Anthony Uback, came from Spain with Bishop Francis Mora twenty years ago and is not liked by the people, but Mannix has found him friendly. His demeanor is saintly although Mannix will admit that his manner would make people look upon him as the Bishop of San Diego County. Uback is respected by Protestant as well as Catholics and has done much for her husband John B.. Regarding Uback's assistants, it is enough to say that Mannix wonders why certain priests were ordained. California is a refuge for unfortunate priests and San Diego takes the palm in this respect. Her children attend a convent school run by the Sisters of Saint Joseph, whose mother house is in St. Louis. She will send Hudson and article shortly. :: X-3-h A.L.S. 12pp. 12mo.
