Reaching Oaxaca late on Sunday afternoon, we called at the Palace.

His Grace is a man of good presence, with a face of some strength and a courteous and gracious manner.

He appeared to be about fifty-five years of age.

After the padre had knelt and kissed the ring, the archbishop invited us to be seated, expressed an interest in our trip to Mitla, hoping that it had proved successful.

He then spoke at some length in regard to his diocese.
