Rare Plumage
Dear Sir,
I received your favor from the 12 of January 1787 with much eagerness. I hope that you find this letter and specimens with as much eagerness as I have of your letters. There are many wonderous creatures in New Spain and these avians come from the lush rainforests. The land is warm and full of water with creeping vines and trees so dense forest floor seems dim at times. But in those tree-covered climes can be found the most vibrant of creatures and blooms in all the colors of the rainbow. When the lands seem savage, indeed, these colors serve as a reminder of the grace that can be found in nature.
