Letter from George Teasdale, 5 July 1891

Colonia Diaz, Dear President Woodruff: There being no Sabbath school this morning I sit down to have another quiet chat with you. Our circumstances are more comfortable than they have been. We lived in a room 11x14 for some time. Then we bought the house consisting of two rooms. The other room was 14x15 ft 6 in. When we obtained these two rooms we felt we could breathe more freely. But when the summer came and we were cooking in this larger room, it was so hot that we were being cooked with our food. The advent of Tilley and her boys necessitated more room. Se we built a kitchen and bedroom on to our house of two rooms and now we are very comfortable But building in Mexico is an expensive luxury if one has the common necessities to produce light and air. In the Mex- ican houses they have adobie walls, mud roof, doors and window shutters. Very little if any glass. I think I have discovered why. Three windows cost in Deming $4.25 four dollars and twenty five cents. They weighed (58) fiftyeight pounds. The cost for duties was $7.90 freight 58¢ Papers 80¢ total $9.28. A suit of furniture Bed stead ^& wire mattrass^ Bureau, wash stand, 9 chairs & a childs chaircast $44.25 The duties were $227.2065. Freight $3.95 Papers & stamps $300 = Total $34.50 The first cost is in U. S. Currency. The second in Mexican Silver, which would make the windows and furniture rather costly and necessitate sustaining home manufacture. Building is expensive. Lum- ber is selling at Diaz $42.50 per (1000) thousand feet Mexican silver.
