NORTH AMERICA, 
Mr. Bailey’s, to deliver a letter from the governor. 
This gentleman received me very civilly, inviting 
me to Pay with him ; but open my urging the ne- 
ed' cy of mv accelerating my journey, he permitted 
me to pr >ceed to Mr. L. MTntofh’s, near the river, 
to whofe friendihip I was recommended by Mr. B, 
Andrews. 
Perhaps, to a grateful mind, there is no intel- 
lectual enjoyment,, which regards human concerns, 
of a more excellent nature, than the remembrance 
of real a£h of friendihip. The heart expands at 
the pleading recollection. When I came up to his 
door, the friendly man, fmiling, and with a grace 
and d’goicy peculiar to him ft If, took me by the 
hand, and accofied me thus: <c Friend Bartram, 
£C come under my roof, and I dell re you to make my 
tc houfe your home, as long as convenient to your- 
cc felfj remember, from this moment, that you are 
€C a part of my family, and, on my part, I .(hall en- 
cc deavour to make it agreeable,” which was veri- 
fied during rny continence in, and about, the 
fourhern territories cf Georgia and Florida; for 1 
found here decency in union with ail the virtues, un- 
der trie influence of religion, I (ball yet mention 
a remarkable inltance of Mr. M^Intoihk friendfhm 
A. 
and refpect for nse; which was, recommending his 
eldeft fon, Mr. John Mint dh, as a companion in 
my travels. Tie was a fenfible virtuous youth, and 
a very agreeable companion through a long and toil- 
fome journey of near a thoufand miles. 
Having been greatly refefhed, by continuing a 
few days with this kind and agreeable family, I pre- 
pared to profecute rny journey foutherly.
