After leaving New Orleans

Nov 26. at noon we rode

all afternoon, thru villages

beside cane, and rice fields

etc. Jenerette, where

the Walker's (Nellie Loars

family) were reared, looked

like a nice little city.

When this photo was

taken we were being

ferried down and across

the Great Father of Waters, = the

Mississippi River. The long

train was divided into three

ports; all in one ferry boat.

Just as the sun was settling we

landed in Beaumont, Texas

and about midnight we

went thru San Antonio

I never supposed I could

be persuaded to go straight

thru old San Antonio.

I saw some palm trees, and

an arched gateway, bearing the

word - Welcome - (the Gateway -

not the trees.
