RUATORIA HOTEL
_ $ir,-I have read the article by "Sundowner" on Ruatoria and I feel that I must protest about his description of the ‘number of fleas in the Ruatoria Hotel. ‘For the past nine years I have stayed at the Hotel on an average of at least once a month and I have never seen or felt a flea. The Ruatoria Hotel is the most popular house on the East Coast, and that \couldn’t possibly be so if things were half’so bad as "Sundowner" would have the, travelling public believe. His articles make quite interesting reading, but he should stick strictly to the truth. In fairness to the popular host and hostess of the Hotel I hope you will publish this letter.
A PUBLIC
SERVANT
(Gisborne).
(There is no reference to the MRuatoria Hotel in "‘Sundowner’s’" paragraph about fleas. On the contrary, ‘there is a long note about the hotel earlier in the same article and all
of it is favourable.
