The following letter On Old Cairo
was sent to Capt. William Williams
twenty years ago by Bailey farrell
one of the pioneers Of this city. Mr..
Harrell passed away about fifteen
years ago:
Capt. VIM. Nj. Williams.
Old Friend.-I propose to devote
an hour or 80 of my elegant leisure
in telling you briefly something
about the old land marks of Cairo,
all of which are now entirely OBJ
liberated and probably remembered
by only two or three of her $4,000
inhabitants.
1t may be quite likely that every
thing about ancient Cairo, worthy
of mention, has already been given
to the public by Nose and other
old scribes. If so, what I may no.
tiee further along will be simply an
old story. Well, so be it, the tell
ing of it will crafty the garrulous
mood of the "old man" and l trust
will not seriously annoy you in the
| reception.
Let me repeat what ! have said
before. I landed my sore boat al
the steep, muddy bank, near where
the stone depot now stands, on Feb
III, 1874. l had no idea then of re
naming in Cairo to exceed three
days, but it so happened that l pro
