[Continued from January 5 (reply #22).]

January 6. Have been honestly trying hard all the evening, and for the tenth time, at least, to frame answers to the printed interrogatories as to improvements in Columbia College served on the trustees individually by the Omnibus Committee “On the course.” It’s very difficult to do it satisfactorily or at all, and unless I give up the job in despair, it will cost me a month’s work and probably never be read by anyone of the committee. Many of the questions are so badly drawn that they can be answered only by an essay on education. But I’ll return to the work. Ellie is good for at least another hour at Moses H’s, it being only half-past twelve. “A fool (that’s Gouverneur Ogden) can ask more questions in a minute than a wise man (that’s me) can answer in a day.”

Snarky devil, isn’t he? But I sympathize.
