with illuminated texts, was opened to show the gilded intricate Gothic structure inside, which contains the heart of Manuel José Mosquera, one time archbishop of Bogotá and brother of Tomás Cipriano de Mosquera. 
    We went up several flights of stone steps, along a balcony over the patio, to the chapter room. Beautiful old carved walnut armchairs with leather backs cut and painted like don Guillermo's were ranged around a long table. Glass cases held vestments and colored busts of early archbishops. There was an old ivory crucifix on a large tortoise shell standard.
   In the next room, on shelves, on the floor, piled in a corner, etc were old books in 16th century bindings of leather, old manuscript records of early cathedral chapters, signatures of Felipe II and III, "yo el rey". 
   Next we went out along the balcony, past ten or twelve large standing candelabra, to a dusty store room with from 20 to 25 "libros corales", huge heavy books, standing on end in a rack, each about three feet high and several inches thick, with heavy parchment leaves, illuminated initials, large black letters and black musical notation, "todos los oficios de las misas".

There we were presented to Señora de Restrepo, small and straight with scanty white hair pulled tight; she was wearing a heavy full black skirt, long, and a small fringed black shawl held close around. The furniture was upholstered in red silk. There were tables of inlaid wood and a round center table of inlaid wood with a queer fleecy top. 
     The next room was long, with a large portrait of the señora's father and an elaborate large wreath-draped memorial to Ruperto Pestrepo. There was a case of old books, among which was a book presented by Bolívar to his secretary, a Restrepo; on one side of the window was the escritorio of the señora's father, on the other was a small upright piano and a high case of books. We went along a balcony to a private chapel, with altar, kneeling
