The editor of the Helena "_Yeoman_" writes:

Helena, Arkansas,
_October 22, 1881_.

Captain Glazier:--May your present voyage down the great
Mississippi redound to your credit, and add to the honors you have
already won.

W. L. Morris,
"_Yeoman_" Office.

Prof. J. J. Flahift, Superintendent of Public Instruction at Helena,
greets the navigator in these terms:

Helena, Arkansas,
_October_ 26, 1881.

"Nothing great is lightly won,
Nothing won is lost;
Every good deed nobly done,
Will repay the cost;
Leave to Heaven in humble trust
All you will to do,"
But, to reach the Gulf, you must
Paddle your own canoe.

J. J. Flahift.

At Natchez, Captain Glazier had the pleasure of hearing Senator Lamar
deliver a political speech, and was afterwards introduced to him at the
Foster House, where both were registered. The Senator seemed much
interested in the Captain's explorations, and so signifies over his
autograph:

Natchez, Mississippi,
_November_ 3, 1881.

Glad to have met you, Captain Glazier, and I leave with you my best
wishes for the success of your undertaking.

L. Q. C. Lamar.

Bayou Tunica will always be held in pleasant remembrance by Captain
Glazier, for he was there most hospitably received and entertained by
John J. Winn, a prosperous merchant and planter. Mr. Winn insisted upon
his remaining with him for two days during the progress of a violent
storm which rendered the river unnavigable, and every effort was made to
make the time pass agreeably. His greeting to the explorer is short but
to the point:

Bayou Tunica, Louisiana,
_November 5, 1881_.

Captain Glazier:--May your voyage to the Gulf be a pleasant one.

John
