We were highly pleased with our trip. We
called on Governor Holden, but could not see
him. We regret to say that one of his officers,
Ia Mr.. Farris,) treated us rudely, BUT we attri-
buted it to his too free use Of whiskey. With
that exception, we were treated with the ut
most kindness.
We have thus given you an outline Of our
trip. We are in possession Of other facts and

enough to satisfy ell that the condition Of the
