They ride animals that look too proud to touch the earth, on high-peaked saddles, with pistols in the holsters, short stirrups, and long, cruel- looking Spanish spurs.

I would advise you to go to the Palmetto Hotel, which is a good family house, and I will write to you there and send another draft.
