 B: Do you think there will always be an Indian community in
 Baltimore?

0: I think so.

B: Some people are fixed pretty permanently, aren't they?

0: Yes, they are.

B: I've heard other people say that they plan to go back to North
 Carolina some day. Do you think you'll ever return?

0: Yes, I'm making preparations now. I'm glad you asked me that
 question. I do plan to go back to North Carolina; my family
 has quite a large chunk of land there, and my brother and I
 being the only sons in the family, the land is left in charge
 to us. I think for that reason and that...if I live to get
 in later years, approximately fifty or fifty-five years old,
 I would like to return there, because I have six sisters there,
 and I enjoy being with them.

B: Well, North Carolina must have some good points in its favor
 after all.

0: It does.

B: It's home; that's one thing.

0: I'll always say that Robeson County is home.

B: Well, I've enjoyed it since I've been here. And I plan to re-
 turn for about three months; I think I'll be in Carolina, or I
 might be back here. Of course, that depends on the board of
 directors, and other things. I have to complete my book, a
 couple of books, and get it out of the way, and then I'll have
 a free hand to work. I've enjoyed it very much since I've been
 here, and I'm encouraged to see our people going on as well as
 they are. Their financial condition is better here, wouldn't
 you say?

0: Yes, it is.

B: Are you the only one of your brothers that live here?

0: I have another brother that lives with me.

B: It is just you two from North Carolina?

0: Just we two, the only two boys.
