HOMOSASSA TALLAHASSEE. 203 



prejudiced persons have visited the South, and have taken 

 advantage of every opportunity to ventilate their crotch 

 ety and angular points. They have received the cold 

 shoulder, and in their correspondence have resorted to 

 misrepresentations. I have wandered around the world, 

 and in the United States from the head of Lake Supe 

 rior to the Gulf of Mexico ; and during my many wan 

 derings in various portions of Florida, I have invariably 

 been treated with kindness, courtesy, and hospitality in 

 fact, I have never met with the same kind and courteous 

 treatment anywhere else. To the sportsman unac 

 quainted with Florida I will simply say, be courteous and 

 reasonable, and a true southern welcome, and the most 

 unbounded hospitality, will be extended everywhere and 

 by all.
