River Country of Georgia 
woody leguminous plants, eight or ten feet 
high, with pinnate leaves and suspended 
rattling pods. 
Reached Savannah, but find no word from 
home, and the money that I had ordered to be 
sent by express from Portage [Wisconsin] by 
my brother had not yet arrived. Feel dreadfully 
lonesome and poor. Went to the meanest look- 
ing lodging-house that I could find, on account 
of its cheapness.
