cost of living here is fearful too. I have been examining in reqard to rents, for the little huts left by the army, from four to ten dollars pr month rent is charged. I thing I did not find a hut that rented for less than four dollars pr month. SOmetimes there will be ten of these huts on a quarter acre of ground, nine out of them of them would not, under the manner, sell for the price of a months rent. There are also ten places here, where intoxicating liquors are sold. This is greatly to be lamented. The school here is doing well, and the scholars show a commendable degree of zeal and advancement. Crops are looking badly and I anticipate a hard winter for poor whites and blacks. I am SIr, very respectfully Your abt servt. J.A. Yeckley Lt and Asst Supt Prince George Co.
