Most of the blacks in this town are "prisoners" with a steel ring around the neck, and chained in long lines.

I leave on the 23d to go up the Kasai River, because that is where the atrocities come from and up there there are many missionaries.

I don't want you to think I say this to "calm your fears," but I say it because it is as true of this place as of every other one in the world, and that is, that it is as easy to get about here as it is in Rhode Island.

It is not half as dangerous as automobiling.

I have not even felt feverish, neither has Cecil.
