TRAVELS m 
CHAP. II. 
Arriving in Carolina very early in the Ip ring, 
vegetation was not fufficiently advanced to invite 
me into the weftern parts of this ftate ; from which 
circumftance, I concluded to make an excurfion 
into Georgia ; accordingly, I embarked on board a 
coafting vefiel, and in twenty-four hours arrived in 
Savanna, the capital, where, acquainting the go- 
vernor, Sir J. Wright, with my buftnefs, his ex- 
cellency received me with great politenefs, fhewed 
me every mark of efteem and regard, and furnifh- 
ed me with letters to the principal inhabitants of 
the (late, which were of great fervice to me. An- 
other circumftance very opportunely occurred on 
my arrival : the affembly was then fitting in Sa- 
vanna, and feveral members lodging in the fame 
ho life where i took up my quarters, I became ac- 
quainted with feveral worthy characters, who in- 
vited me to call at their feats occafionally, as I 
paffed through the country j particularly the hon. 
B. Andrews, efq. a diftinguifhed, patriotic, and li- 
beral character. This gentleman’s feat, and well- 
cultivated plantations, are fituated near the fouth 
high road, which I often travelled ; and I feldom 
paffed his houfe without calling to fee him, for it 
was the feat of virtue, where hofpitality, piety, 
and philofophy, formed the happy family ; where 
the weary traveller and ftranger found a hearty 
welcome, and from whence it mull: be _ his own 
fault if he departed without being greatly be- 
nefited.
