[Continued from May 15 (reply #44).]

May 17, SUNDAY. Bradish sent for Mr. Ruggles yesterday afternoon to say how much he regretted to find that he was considered mainly instrumental in getting up the late attack on Trinity Church. He deplored and disapproved it, and was disgusted; his motion was a remedy through the courts; the members of the vestry were his most valued friends, and so on. This looks a little uncandid. His name has been conspicuous from first to last. Probably he was willing to let it be conspicuous while it seemed to be on the winning side, and now that reaction has set in pretty strongly, remembers all at once that he didn’t do a great deal of the work after all.
