[3] Isaaco was better able to appreciate their music than Mungo Park.
In one item of his accounts, the latter writes: "To the native singers
for singing their nonsense."
[4] It must be remembered that Isaaco was writing a government report
and careful to suppress all signs of indecorum. What a heap of money
one would give to possess his private, unexpurgated journal!
[5] A priest of Yaour to whom Amady Fatouma, the guide, had given a
small present from Mungo Park.
[6] Mansong had sold it to Park for a quantity of firearms. It was
half rotten and took eighteen days to make water-tight. Forty feet
long by six broad and flat-bottomed. They christened it "His Majesty's
Schooner Joliba."

Mr. A. A. Taylor, who contributed the article on _Negro Congressmen a
Generation After_ in the April number, recently received from Mr.
Henry A. Wallace, a participant in the Reconstruction in South
Carolina, the following important letter:
326 Flower St.,
Chester, Pa.,
April 19, 1922.
PROF. A. A. TAYLOR,
The West Virginia Collegiate Institute, Institute, W. Va.
_Dear Sir:_ I am still confined to the house, not having been
outside since the last week of December. When we get some good
sunshiny weather I will venture out. I am writing this to let you
know how much I enjoyed reading your very interesting article
"Negro Congressmen a Generation After," in the April number of
The Journal of Negro History. This article and Dr. Woodson's
"Fifty Years of Negro Citizenship as Qualified by the United
States Supreme Court" are worth the subscription price to The
Journal.
As your article is now in permanent form and no doubt will be
quoted frequently, there are one or two little slips that I would
like to invite your attention to, feeling that you, like myself,
believe in accuracy.
