TranscriptDrove off at 7.50; reached Jackson 11.20. Checked into Ramada Renaissance. Picked up at 2.30 for engagement at Old Capitol — opening of Mississippi at war exhibit in museum. Talk, plus reading & answers to questions, enthusiastically received; attendance better than 1200, according to William Winter who introduced me, it was the largest assembly there than at any time since the secession convention in 1861. Dinner afterwards at Governor Winter’s; some fifty guests. Back to hotel by 11. Leg didnt bother me much thanks to Vicodin. |
