"I had some difficulty in convincing them that in the United States
we had cities and towns, as they had, and that our bears were kept
in cages or pits, as theirs were. I told them I was very glad to be

to join my thanks with theirs to the kind Christian ladies and
gentlemen who had provided such an entertainment for us.
