Title:
Taken from Russian Hill. [verso:] Badly-constructed buildings, or those with insecure foundations, collapsed completely, crushing
many hundreds in their fall. It was in such buildings that those who lost their lives perished. How many there were of these
will never be known, for the fire swept the city so soon after the earthquake that the bodies were destroyed, but a conservative
estimate places the number at a thousand. -- Leslie's Weekly. [Postcard.]
