"So would I," agreed his chum. "I have much to say to Gato.
If there were mail boxes in this wild country I'd drop him a letter."
"Do you really wish to send Gato a letter?" asked Nicolas, eagerly.
"Why, I'd send him one if I could," nodded Tom.
"Have you writing materials?" pressed the servant.
"Yes—but what's the use?"
"Write your letter, mi caballero, and I will hand it to Gato," urged the Mexican.
"You?" gasped Tom.
"Certainly."
"But how?"
"I will hand the letter to him in person."
