J. J. Flahift. At Natchez, Captain Glazier had the pleasure of hearing Senator Lamar deliver a political speech, and was afterwards introduced to him at the Foster House, where both were registered. The Senator seemed much interested in the Captain's explorations, and so signifies over his autograph: Natchez, Mississippi, _November_ 3, 1881. Glad to have met you, Captain Glazier, and I leave with you my best wishes for the success of your undertaking. L. Q. C. Lamar. Bayou Tunica will always be held in pleasant remembrance by Captain Glazier, for he was there most hospitably received and entertained by John J. Winn, a prosperous merchant and planter. Mr. Winn insisted upon his remaining with him for two days during the progress of a violent storm which rendered the river unnavigable, and every effort was made to make the time pass agreeably. His greeting to the explorer is short but to the point: Bayou Tunica, Louisiana, _November 5, 1881_. Captain Glazier:--May your voyage to the Gulf be a pleasant one. John J. Winn. Captain Glazier's first acquaintance with a sugar plantation was made on reaching the estates of Messrs. V. U. Lefebre and son, who are extensively engaged in the production of this staple of commerce. This firm is counted among the wealthiest sugar planters of Plaquemine Parish, owning and controlling three large plantations. The Captain made the most of his opportunity to learn something of the art of sugar manufacture. The cane-field and sugar-mill and every detail were explained by his polite host, from the cutting of the canes to the refining process. The Captain and his companion were hospitably entertained an entire day, and on parting the senior Mr. Lefebre greeted him in French, the tongue of his mother country: Eliza Plantation, Louisiana, _November_ 9, 1881. Cher Capitaine:--J'espere que votre voyage au Golfe sera agreable que vous garderes un bon souvenir de la Louisiane. Votre sincere, V. U. Lefebre.
