[64] About this time, Mr. Curtis, describing the colony in the Chicago
Record, said "There is no neater group of houses in Colorado, and no
more contented community in the world. Nearly every one has written to
friends urging them to join the next colony that comes out, and thus I
judge they are enthusiastic over their success and the pleasures they
enjoy."
