Cloudy weather prevailed afterwards, and moisture lasted well.

V. at New Orleans was put in execution, - and I saw so many people that I am just beginning to realize that I am ; "Homo." I have not felt much like i writing since, and I might add, talk ' ing either. If I had gone to a ncar! by town my uxor and little homines could very easily draw me out in conversation, hut as it is, I can't converse worth a cent about the many wonderful things to ho seen in the Crescent City. I met some r f my boyhood acquaintances whose names had long been rubbed from my memory. I have plenty of notes that I jotted down on a note book until my surroundings became so great that | they refused to he jotted. Take it all in all, I had a vtry pleasant time and enjoyed my trip very well, and sometime when my nerves get quiet I may give an ac count of my trip but not now for I like a great quantity of being calm yet. I had an idea that I would mc some of my notes in this letter but it might he crowded out. I will (wait until next time.
