Savannah Georgia
January first 1912.
It is still raining this morning and
it is somewhat cold.
Savannah lies high along the
southern bank of the Ogeechee. The
height is probably 25 feet while to the
north there is a low swampy Ogeechee
bottom many miles in width.
Under sun-shine Savannah
is certainly a good looking southern
city. In the center of the town are to
be found the first houses and many
of these are brick built and commodious.
The Palmetto palms are very abundant
all throughout the city and except the dirt
roads the general appearance here is
not different from that of Jacksonville.
Boat leaves on the 1:30 P.M. Sea-
land Air Line for New York where I
should arrive tomorrow at 2:30 P.M.
