Mr. Strong’s committee-work makes me feel tired.

March 18. Tired to death nearly; fagged out with worry and with thinking on one subject. Most of the day with Mr. Ruggles, posting him up. He goes to Albany tomorrow and don’t think badly of the case. I’m inclined to despond today, for the first time, as to the prospects in the legislature, though I believe we can rely on the Governor. Thurlow Weed is operating strongly against us. Remonstrances come in strongly; people generally glad to sign. We want an efficient central organization. I’ve brought Haight in to superintend things at the Vestry office, for Dunscomb’s indecision and sluggishness would ruin us.
