Show Mexico J. H. HANNAN CONSULTING MINING ENGINEER Tel: 2-16-53; CALZADA INDEPENDENCIA 450. COLIMA, COLIMA, MEXICO. 25 January 1972 Mr. Weston Bourret, Vice President, Utah International, Inc., 550 California St., San Francisco, Calif. Dear Wes: Your interesting letter of the 17th of December long delayed in arrival, but did arrive. And I left the next day for a trip to the mountains. And the next, of the 12th with a copy of the Annual Report arrived on time -- guess the mail services have gotten over the year end build-up -- and I truly appreciate the fine work in the reproduction of the color photographs, as well as your kindness in sending this along to me. The suggestions are all interesting. I know a bit about the area, and many of the people. Am leaving again for a week in the mountains, but will write you fully on the subject while there, or on my return here about 2 or 3 February. And a much belated good wish to you for the New Year even though it is now well started. Sincerely yours, Jim H. J.H. Hannan No doubt you remember that trips out in to the mountains here do take a bit of time! The good part now is that this is season of beautiful weather--- |
