In the Senate, April 18, Thursday, 1850.
MY DEAR SON,—I received yours this morning. You appear to have a fierce
storm. Here the weather has been quite cold, and it is feared the fruits are
all spoiled, or nearly so.
I have been in court in a very important cause, and all the while kept
running up to the Senate. I am harassed and tired; but I have no other case for
three weeks.
I suppose the committee of thirteen will be appointed to-day. We shall then
see a little what will be the course of things, and when I can probably leave
for home. I learn that my name is on the list for the committee, but I shall
not serve on it. Again, perhaps, to-morrow.
D. W.
