Boards with light rubbing to extremities. ; Walter Robb was the correspondent for the Philippines of the Chicago Daily News. "His soul, of course, was in the utmost anguish: he knew he must make amends, and at night he would get into his calesa and go on phantom rides from house to house, where the peasants lived that he had cheated in the weights. He was always trying to return his illgotten gains. " INSCRIBED on front free endpaper with stamp: "Manuscript Edition No. 290 of 1,000 copies, signed Walter Robb. On behalf of my well-tied friend Wilson E. Wells, esq. , presented to his sister Miss Laura M. Wells, of Baltimore with the season's greetings and all good wishes of The Author. Manila circa xmas '39" - "The bookhas fifty-two short "chapters" that describe a Manila sunrise, firewalkers, life in the villages, and various historical sites. He takes us pearling in the Sulu, hosts visits to a balut farm, the Calamba sugar plantation, and retells some Filipino folktales. If our host sometimes fails to see clearly what he reports, his vision is blurred by the wish expressed in his poem: "There are beautiful things in Manila-Back of ugly portals, Mellow light." The book is filled with many shrewd comments on Filipino behavior, "overheards" made by Filipino and American mighties of Robb's era, and vivid descriptions of the bygone days. Filipinos captures, without sentimentality, a past time and a vanished landscape, and preserves the widefaced love of one American for "the land of the morning," the people" of the sun returning.
