It has a number of things over Kaysville when it comes to being a city. The weather here is about 10 below now. So it is not very pleasant to be out in too long. I made a stab at learning French from jRome of the French sailor boys here, but did not make much headway at it so put it up. We all got a comfoit kit put up by the ited Cross, the night we left Minneapolis. And I can say it is the best thing that can be given to a salt. They contain almost everything you need.

They gave us cigars and cigarettes in abundance. We have gone by several large swamps and have seen .several million negroes. Nine out of ten houses are built the same with the old southern fireplace and the chimney going up the outside of the house. I have seen several cotton gins and several thousand bales of cotton. I also picked a cotton ball from a cotton plant and have it in my posession now. All you can see for miles at a stretch is a cotton field and a swamp and then another cotton field. I have heard lots of things said about the south and their negroes, but if the white people gave us as good a welcome and the glad hand as the negroes do we would feel much better.
