Description
In this handwritten letter Robert Webb writes from New Orleans, Louisiana to his wife, Matilda to let her know he'd arrived safely in New Orleans. He tells her about the trip and the exploration he's done while there before they leave for Texas. He goes on to describe the French market and Jackson square, including the statue of Andrew Jackson and what it looks like up close. He continues by describing his visit to the Catholic Church located near Jackson Square and concludes by explaining the plans for the rest of the trip.
