New Orleans Today from a New York Times Letter
A visitor describes upper St Charles Street as charming and resembling Fifth Avenue, with wooden houses, gated gates, and ample yards with orange and magnolia trees. Water tanks rise above houses, and Jackson Square area offers lodging in old mansions. New Orleans excels in transit and dining, with carts of cigars, French and German eateries, and a mix of musty theatres and operas drawing social attention.

A Library Deaths Letter and Confederate Photo Value
A discussion on the Library of Congress origins shows private libraries forming early public knowledge bases and the risk of copyright controls. A Confederate installation photograph is cited as an example of ephemeral items gaining dignity, with a caption noting its potential value. An expedition reports six explorers buried in a desert sand bath with wolves consuming each head, a grim account of a deadly misadventure.
