Dad is in an awful state here, and /
do not know what to do with him.
We struck this town all in a heap,
and the people seemed to be paralyzed
so they couldn't speak, except to
make motions and make noises that
we could not interpret. This is the
first time dad and I have been in a
place where nobody understood our
language. Ordinarily we would take
pleasure in teaching people to speak
the English language, but in coming
across the English channel dad and I
both got something we never got on

been poisoned by eating loeo-weeds,

bass with a hook in its mouth, and
rolls over like a trained dog, and sits
up on its hind legs and begs, and then
walks on its fore paws, and seems to
jump through hoops, and dig for wood

boils like 'pollinarius, full of bubbles,

ant a tip. Well, I don't know what
the servants did to our baggage, but
they must have marked it with q
smallpox sign, or something, for no
body would touch it for several hours,
but finally baggage man took it and
started for our apartments, and got
lost, and didn't show up for two days,
and when it was finally landed on the
sidewalk nobody would carry it up
stairs, and dad and I had to lug it up
two fights, and I thought dad would
have apoplexy.
We found guide who could talk
New Orleans English and he said it
would cost three dollars 60 square it
with the servants at the hotel, and
baggage, and dad paid it. and now he
coughs up a tip every time he sees a
servant look at him. He pays when
he goes in a restaurant and when he
comes out, and says he is cured Of
trying to reform the customs of any
body else's country.
We have engaged a guide to stay
with US day and night. The guide
took US out for a bat last night, and
dad had the time Of his life. Dad has
malt liquors in his time, but I don't

the dog over to our table and began
to feed him frogs legs. and the wom-

look cross at dad, and the count that
was with her came over to our table
and looked at dad in tone Of voice
! that meant trouble, and said some
thing sassy, and the guide said the
man wanted to fight a duel because dad
had contaminated the woman's dog,
and dad got mad and offered to wipe
out the whole place, and he got UP
with champagne bottle and looked
defiance at the count, and the walters
began to scatter, when the woman
came up to dad and begged him not
to hurt the count, and as she spoke
broken English dad could understand
her, and she looked so beautiful, and
her eyes were filed with tears, and
dad relented and said: Don't cry,
