4563. LEDYARD (John), Penetrating Africa.—[continued].

My last accounts of Ledyard
were from Grand Cairo. He was just been
plunging into the unknown regions of Africa,
probably never to emerge again. If he returns,
he has promised me to go to America and
penetrate from Kentucky to the western side
of the continent.—
