flight receipt and ticket for Shubuta. Arriving in Shubuta at 8.40 A.M. I try and get a wagon to Creola to get my baggage there and to settle my account. Return to Shubuta at 7.15 P.M. Nov. 15-96 Wednesday. Shubuta to Meridian. Receiving a letter last night from Olimpson I concluded to make another effort to collect union in the Chickasawhay river. Saw there today ground the river too high and a good Shubuta creek to find any shells. A negro boy said he would collect some for me, his name is Scott Conner. Save him two hards. Shipped the bird in the morning prepaid.
