Before the opening of the war Count Branick maintained an estate la . the province of Flock of about ' acres, but It has all been laid waste and his residence burned and, all tha 'valuable portraits and books that made ' up his library destroyed. This Is the first visit of Count ' Branick to the United States and he h-a found the American people -delightful" and "very hospitable." , "America is m msuiiu u", I find the American people easy to do . 1 . k- .
