Now, the above was written in 1842, and published by Mr. Cowell in 1844; and in 1830-31, about a year after this visit to Louisville, he not only met me and my wife in New Orleans, but Mr. and Mrs. McClure and Mr. Still, who were all members of Mr. Caldwell's company with him in the last-mentioned years.
