"OLD CITY GATES - ST. AUGUSTINE, FLA."
Sent from HPL June 23rd, 1934
"Still lingering in the tropical solitudes. . .
Greetings from the oldest city in the United States -- founded by the Spanish in 1565, ceded to the British in 1973, ceded back to Spain 1783, sold to U.S. in 1821 . . . . . The subtropical climate braces me up like a tonic - I shall hate to return north!"
